Inside Out Grilled Cheese, Cheese Toastie or Cheese on Toast is a bucket list recipe for grilled cheese lovers! With or without egg, tomatoes, bacon or onions.
I personally have been a fan of grilled cheese for decades. I just can't seem to help myself. I just love cheese. This recipe for Inside Out Grilled Cheese is so yummy and I am not even kidding.
My friend Rills showed me this cheese toastie recipe for the first time and I have been addicted ever since!
Now, when I crave grilled cheese I will often go this route instead! If it is breakfast time, I have also included a fried egg or two on top. It is just amazing! Well, we think so!
I also can't decide personally if I like this inside out grilled cheese better with or without bacon, tomatoes and onions. It is such a wonderful change, that is for sure. I just make it sometimes with and sometimes without but all are delicious.
Sometimes I have time to cook the bacon first and sometimes I don't. I usually include onions, probably because I always have them in the house, and tomatoes, without the pulp, especially when they are in season! Boy oh boy do we grow a lot of them!
Now you will have to decide for yourself. Grab a knife and fork and enjoy this delicious treat! Who doesn't love cheese and all of that other good stuff!

How to make Inside Out Grilled Cheese
In a medium sized saucepan, over low heat, add 1-2 tablespoons butter.
Allow to melt.
Add thinly sliced cheese, one layer at a time.
As each layer starts to melt add another and stir gently until melted. Actually you don't really stir the cheese, you are just adjusting it.
Gently keep cheese moving around in the pot until fully melted.
Then stir.
Drain off any excess oil but not all of it.
Add tomato, crisp bacon or onion and stir continuously until well blended.
Remove from heat.
Toast bread, butter if desired, and place on your plate for serving.
Try to toast your bread while cheese is melting so toast is ready when cheese is melted.
Spoon cheese mixture on top of toast.
Serve with a fried or poached egg on top if desired. Enjoy!
