Simple method for making Greek "Toast"

[acamp7]

When I go to Greece I love to order "Toast" (Tost) as a snack or light lunch...

When I get home, I try to make them, as well - but the method and combinations are slightly different.

Here is what I do - I get some bread from the Greek store and slice it into sandwich size shapes.

I think toast two slices lightly in the toaster.

Then, I assemble the combinations - usually some kind of Greek cheese, plus whatever else I feel like. In Greece I loved versions with combinations of cheeses, ham and cheese, cheese and tapenade or sundried tomato, etc.

Then, I add olive oil to a skillet and cook the sandwich on the stovetop. I don't have a panini press but I'd use that instead if I did.

How do you guys make this?

In most Greek households you just take sandwich bread, ham, and cheese and stick it between a sandwich press..... and that's how I make it. My wife prefers turkey, so she uses that. I prefer to use smoked gouda and she prefer kaseri because she what's she grew up on.

I make these all the time, too. Ham and cheese or turkey and cheese a favorites. Sometimes I had tomato. When I am in Greece I love buying ham and cheese toasts at street vendors.

I don’t know if it the toast it self that is so yummy or if I’m just so super hungry after a good swim in the sea that makes it yummier. I usually make mine in a panin I press. I use Gouda cheese which is the cheese used in Greece to make the toast. I also like to add ham in mine.
