I would like to add my toast and cheese sandwich to the recipes. First you make two pieces of toast then you insert your favorite cheese(s) between them, eat. Yum!
Please note that this is NOT a toasted cheese sandwich.

Bah, don’t listen to the cheeser, Doc. I am going to try the Whte House apple toast recipe some day…sounds like a lovley breakfast.
I would also like to recommend the traditional dish of thick slices of juicy, ripe garden tomatoes on toast with honey drizzled over. (Crummy, pale, plasticky, crunchy supermarket tomatoes should not be eaten, in this or any other way.)

I tried this apple toast recipe this morning, and it was delicious! I did add a bit of cinnamon to the apples, but that was the only variation.
Both of my parents loved it, too!
