I don’t actually have a grill in my current kitchen, which means for the past 5 years i’ve not cooked cheese on toast once. Laying in bed this morning, I suddenly had the thought – cheese on toast in the Actifry will definitely work – and to my delight, it does!
Cheese and Toast made in the Actifry is great.
Like many of my Actifry recipes, it’s super simple. The Actifry does a great job of making simple foods even easier. There is a certain level of effort associated with making cheese on toast (pre-heating the grill, watching it to make sure it doesn’t burn – making sure you don’t burn yourself on it, then cleaning it!).
This is a recipe which is safe for teens and older kids to make themselves for lunch too!
I mix milk into the cheese mixture – it’s a tip I got from my mum years ago. It results in really bubbly cheese with the nice brown spots.

How to make Cheese on Toast in the Actifry
Scroll down for recipe and ingredient list
1. Grate the cheese (i’d recommend you use a block cheese and grate it yourself – pre-grated cheese (shop-bought, I mean) is coated in starch which makes it harder to melt
2. Add the grated cheese to a bowl
3. Add the milk
4. Stir so the cheese is coated in the milk
5. Toast a couple of slices of bread to the brownness you like for toast
6. Top the toast with the milky cheese
7. Add the cheesy toast to the Actifry (paddle out)
8. Close the lid and cook for 2 minutes – after 2 minutes, the cheese will have begun to melt – use a knife to make sure its spread evenly and any large chunks of grated cheese are pressed down
9. Close the lid and continue to cook for a further 3 minutes (or longer, depending on your model) until its cooked to your liking. I like my cheese and toast to be brown and bubbly like this – (which was 2 mins + 3 mins in my Traditional Actifry)
10. Remove from the Actifry and serve immediately
