Crafting the Perfect Toast: 3 Elements (+1)
How to make the perfect toast? Let’s explore some tips for creating an unforgettable toast with Toastix!


Ever wondered how to make the perfect toast? Let’s explore some tips to create an unforgettable toast experience with Toastix!
In everyday life, “simplicity” often means “easy to do,” but when a chef uses this word, it means: “It takes a lifetime to master…” says Bill Bufford, American writer and journalist. He wasn’t entirely wrong: the dishes that appear the simplest in terms of ingredients and preparation are often the ones where imperfections are most noticeable.
What’s simpler than a toast? Almost nothing, one might say.
Well, not quite.
Sometimes the bread is dry or undercooked, the ingredients inside are soggy instead of deliciously juicy, or the toast falls apart after the first bite, with ham or tomato slipping out from between the slices of bread.
The perfect toast seems easy to make, but it’s not.
In a world where time moves swiftly and the quality of products is non-negotiable, the quest for the perfect toast takes on a new dimension. This article is dedicated to you, the owner or manager of a bar, café, or food truck, who strives to offer your customers an unforgettable culinary experience, optimising time and resources without compromising on service quality.
Profiling the “Perfect Toast”
Every toast fundamentally consists of three main ingredients (+1): bread, cheese, and filling.
At first glance, cheese and filling might be considered a single element. However, we prefer to consider cheese in its specificity, as it plays a very precise structural role within the toast.
What’s the +1, you ask? Sauce!


The Perfect Bread for the Perfect Toast
The perfect toast can only happen with the perfect bread.
When it comes to bread, there are definite dos and don’ts. Yes to sandwich loaf, no to pre-sliced supermarket bread: sandwich loaves are slightly taller and more moist compared to your everyday pre-sliced bread, which tends to dry out when used for toasting.
The height of the bread should be just right: bread that is too thick won’t cook evenly, while bread that is too thin will harden and burn easily.
As for the composition of the bread, the choice is all yours: traditional or whole grain, it all depends on personal taste!
The Perfect Filling
The filling is where a restaurateur’s creativity can truly shine: there’s no single perfect filling, only the one that perfectly matches the customer’s taste.
Generally, it’s advisable to pair complementary ingredients, balancing soft and crunchy, fresh and warm, moist and dry, so that each bite is an explosion of flavours.
The key recommendation we can offer here is about distribution: make it uniform. There’s nothing more satisfying than biting into the corner of a toast and finding it rich and overflowing with flavour!
The Cheese
Cheese in a toast serves three purposes: adding flavour, retaining the moisture of the ingredients, and binding the filling to the bread.
This addresses the issue of a toast falling apart once lifted: cheese is our binding hero, there to prevent the tragedy.
So, our advice is on the placement of the cheese more than anything: always put the dairy delice between the bread and the other ingredients, on both sides!
As for the type of cheese, always choose a melt-y one: cheddar, fontina, brie… To each filling, its match!
+1: The Sauce Deserves Its Spotlight Too!
When it comes to sauces, there are a few guidelines, mainly based on flavor pairings and whether they should be heated.
Some sauces are best served warm or semi-warm, so they should be placed in the middle of a filled toast, away from direct heat. Others are perfect for being almost cooked and can serve as an additional binder between the filling and the bread.
Certain sauces should never be warmed up, not even slightly. These should be served on the side, allowing the customer to adjust the sauce-to-toast ratio to their liking.
