What is McToast

The McToast is an item on the McDonald's breakfast menu, which is only available in a few European countries. It consists of a freshly toasted bun served with a few slices of melted cheese and two slices of ham.

Homemade McToast Ingredients

• Hamburger Buns – use soft, fresh hamburger buns as they will toast the best
• Slices of Cheese – use high-quality cheese that melts well: Gruyere cheese, Swiss cheese, or Monterey Jack
• Ham – go for a good quality leg ham
• Baking Paper – you will need baking paper (or parchment paper) to cook the McToast sandwiches

Tips

Instead of using a pan for frying the bread, you can also use a sandwich press.

Give the McToast a Monte Cristo twist by spreading the buns with mayonnaise, adding cheese and ham, and dipping in a mixture of egg and milk, and frying in a pan until golden.

The recipe will also work with English Muffins or plain white sandwich bread.

For added flavor and texture, sprinkle a bit of parmesan cheese on the surface of the bread before toasting.

How to Store Homemade McToast

Leftover McToast can be stored in the fridge (in an airtight container) for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan, in the oven, or in the Airfryer to make it crispy again.

Can I Make It Ahead of Time?

The Homemade McToast is best served immediately while it’s hot and crispy.

What To Serve With ABC

Serve the homemade McToast on its own, with a bit of ketchup, or as a side to tomato soup.
