Cheese BeanosWe had them last night, beans on toast with cheese melted over the top, but what do you call them?
Or do you prefer your beans on the side/on top, like my DH?
This is to further a very serious discussion, you understand!

beans and cheese on toast, mmm. my other half alwasy has bacon as well so you get (working from the bottom)
Toast
Bacon
Beans
Cheese
And if he's feeling really indulgent a fried egg on the top as well. why he isn't the size of a house is beyond me!!!

I would never have beans and cheese on toast - that's greedy!! One or the other, not both  .

Ugh ! Cheese on beans is wrong.
It has to be well-frazzled cheese on toast, with beans on top, and a fried egg on top of that.

It's true, and the cheese to melt through the beans too.

Jamanda insists on having all these things served next to the toast. Never understood it myself, prolly a northern thing.

Nooooo 
That's why I have the well-toasted cheese under the beans. Can't stand cheese melted onto soggy food [also e.g. grated over a pasta sauce]

I'm with you Gil - cheese on toast cooked till slightly crispy with beans on top. I'd never thought of cheese over the beans, sounds over-gooey
Or sometimes without the beans and with a poached egg instead

Ah, see if you don't like the gooeyness, then you toast the bread on both sides first, instead of just one
Does that mean you don't have beans on toast either?
|
tahir

| Fee wrote: | | then you toast the bread on both sides first, instead of just one |
I was with you all the way till then, you can't toast bread on one side and call it toast, no way!
|
Fee
|
Ah, but if you toast it on both sides first, before putting the stuff on top to toast again, the crust gets too burnt, especially if you like the cheese well done!
Toast one side, turn over, butter the other side (right to the edges, pet hate), add beans, add cheese, under the grill again.

You're obviously not cheesing to the edge young lady, it's a deficiency in your technique.

Cheesy beanos - food of the gods, and probably nicked by some scally northerner from a good honest Londoner.
|

Point taken, I shall endeavour to put that right next time I make them, Tahir.
Watch it, Gervase

Oh yes, love beans on toast - now then , get the cat, get the pigeons ready
which beans?
what cheese?
oh all right then
what bread, if you must
|
tahir
|
Lincolnshire poacher's a goodun, I don't need to say which beans (do I?). I'd say butter is down to individual choice (as long as it's not unsalted) as is bread.
|
Pilsbury

right it has to be toast done in the toaster, buttered, beans on top, POACHED egg nestled into the beans, strong chedder grated on top and flashed under the grill.
its a lot of work for what it is but done right its food of the gods
|
Fee
|
Yeah, agree with Tahir, strong cheddary type cheese, and the rest is personal choice. I like a bread with bits in, but we used to have them with white bread as children (though I think my Mum still only buys white bread, so that explains that).

So that's toast, optional bacon, beans, cat and pigeons and then cheese? I suppose you need to use the lowest shelf setting on the grill with that lot. May I ask what's your prefered cat?

I have in front of me a plate of fried-up onion, leek and wild garlic mash, with beans on top, and a fried egg on top of that. And Encona.
I blame this thread.

Chilli sauce

I'm from the north-west too. Eggs, beans, cheese - on toast - I was brought up to believe you had one or the other, not two at a time. I was quite grown up before I even heard of perming two from three
You lot are just spoilt
|
Pilsbury

I think it is a seriously hot pepper chilli sauce, which I have or should say had, on everything until this morning, bad day including morphine but thats another story.
|
jamanda
|
Hmmm. My parents are from the North West, I think my putting the beans on the side was possibly some form of rebellion
But - I hate it when the toast goes soggy - never tried it cheese first...might have to experiment with that.

Breifly so as to not hijack i woke up with serious stomach pains, made it to work for 5 mins and then went to A&E, blood tests and xrays had them thinking gall bladder or ulcers and they gave me morphine and anti sickness meds, turns out it might be much less serious but might have to have a look with a camera, so no more spicy food or me

The heart and liver of the one that poops in my polytunnel when I'm away would be absolutely perfect, thank you, I'm happy to discard the rest of the mog for the sake of correct depth

Toast, beans, strong grated cheddar, and loads of Worcestshire sauce!YUM!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing missing here is a good scrape of marmite on the toast, before the beans go on!

Marmite! Yes, Yes,Yes!!!!!!!

no no you dont mix them, the cheese clearly goes on the top,

Right this is what we have once a week.
Toast in the toaster buttered, then Marmite, then the Beans, then Tabasco, then the Cheese, then either two fried or two poached eggs, then lots of Salt and Pepper. Mmmmm

you lot are all wierd
make cheese on toast (marmite optional)
heat beans (with chilli sauce but not if you have marmite)
pour beans over 1/2 of the cheese on toast on plate
you can have crispy cheese on toast, soggy beany cheese on toast and you can mop the last of the bean juice up with the crusts from the cheese on toast.
I can't believe I've never thought of adding an egg to the mix
