Perfect for brunch or as a delightful snack for kids! The combination of sweet and savory ham with delightfully salty cheese is utterly delicious. Enjoy this amazing cheesy toast!
Basic Ingredients
- 1 loaf of milk bread (shokupan)
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- Thinly sliced ham (to your preference)
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp condensed milk
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the microwave until soft. Spread the melted butter evenly over one side of the loaf of milk bread. This step will make the bread extra crispy and flavorful.
Step 2
Place the buttered bread into a preheated oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) and toast until golden brown on both sides. You’re looking for a beautiful golden-brown hue, especially around the edges.
Step 3
While the bread is toasting, prepare your thinly sliced ham. Lightly grease a pan and cook the ham slices on both sides until they are nicely browned. The rendered fat from the ham will add extra deliciousness.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the decadent cheese sauce! In a small pan or saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of condensed milk, and 2 slices of cheddar cheese.
Step 5
On low heat, stir continuously with a spatula or whisk until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to burn it. Once it reaches a nice, thick consistency, remove from heat.
Step 6
Arrange the perfectly toasted bread slices on a plate. Generously top with the browned ham slices. Then, spread the cheddar cheese slices evenly over the bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 7
Finally, pour the warm, melted cheese sauce from step 4 over the bread and ham. Your Ultimate Cheesy Toast Bread is now complete! Serve immediately while the cheese is wonderfully gooey and stretchy.
