Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has shared his recipe for the perfect toasted cheese sandwich.
The 45-year-old chef revealed his simple recipe to Facebook on Friday, after being inspired by the MasterChef Australia contestants creating their gourmet version of the humble sandwich on Thursday night.
‘Those were some epic toasties on MasterChef Australia!! For those of you that now want to know how to make the best cheese toasties with a Crown – here’s Jamie’s MEGA cheese toastie,’ he captioned the video.

To make his grilled cheese, Jamie explained that all you need is a couple of different types of cheese, bread, butter and an assortment of condiments.
The British star used cheddar cheese in his toastie, as well as red leicester – because they ‘melt nicely’.
First, you cut white bread into two slices and coat each slide of the bread with a generous helping of butter.

Jamie explained then grate a layer of cheese on the bottom of the pan and put the cheese sandwich on top.
‘Once the cheese is grated, pile a handful on your buttered bread and put it in your fry pan on low to medium heat for three minutes on each side,’ instructed.
The clever chef also adds a ‘tiny pinch of Kayam’ in the pan for extra flavour.

After cooking the bread on one side, Jamie added more cheese in the middle of the pan and turned the toastie over.
‘For perfection in the eating, you’ve got to leave it for two mins because inside that toastie the cheese is like a billion degrees celsius,’ he explained.
‘This is crispy, gooey, fluffy, golden perfection,’ he added.
