Main Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 frozen hash browns
- 2 slices of mozzarella cheese
- 1/5 fresh cucumber
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 20g butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the frozen hash browns. Lightly grease a pan or use an air fryer to cook them until golden brown and crispy on both sides. The key is to achieve a satisfying crisp texture.
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then slice it as thinly as possible. Thinner slices will help balance the texture of the toast.
Step 3
Now, prepare the pan for toasting. Spread butter evenly across the bottom of the pan. The melting butter will add flavor and help the bread brown beautifully.
Step 4
Place the bread slices in the pan. For two of the four slices, place them butter-side down to toast one side. The other two slices should be toasted evenly on both sides in the butter. This variation adds textural interest.
Step 5
On the two slices of bread that were toasted on only one side (the side not in contact with butter), spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. The creamy mayonnaise will help bind the other ingredients.
Step 6
Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of the mayonnaise-covered bread slices. As the cheese melts, it will hold the ingredients together.
Step 7
Return the bread slices with cheese to the pan and cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and gooey. Be patient, and you’ll be rewarded with perfectly melted cheese.
Step 8
Once the cheese has melted sufficiently, carefully place the cooked, crispy hash brown on top of the cheese. The thick hash brown adds a hearty element.
Step 9
Drizzle ketchup over the hash brown according to your preference. The sweet and tangy ketchup will balance the overall flavors.
Step 10
Finally, artfully arrange the thinly sliced fresh cucumber on top. The crispness of the cucumber cuts through any richness.
Step 11
Now, carefully place the other two bread slices, toasted golden brown on both sides, on top to complete the toast. This is where all the delicious layers come together.
Step 12
Pro Tip: To prevent the toast from falling apart and its fillings from spilling out when you cut it, insert skewers firmly into both sides of the toast to secure it before slicing. This ensures a neat cut.
Step 13
Your impressive Hash Brown Cheese Toast is complete! Enjoy your meal!
