A recent NDTV Food feature highlights a fresh take on a classic: upside-down cheese toast, a snack that flips technique for maximum flavor and texture ⁠- literally ⁠(turn0search0). The method starts by melting mozzarella cheese onto a hot pan—then placing a slice of bread on top, sauce side up, and layering on pizza sauce, onions, capsicum, tomatoes, and herbs.

As it cooks, the cheese crisps from underneath, forming a golden, savory crust while the toppings steam the bread from the top side. Flip it carefully to finish and toast the bread fully. The result: a snack that’s crunchy on the outside and irresistibly gooey inside.

Mozzarella is the go-to choice thanks to its silky melt, though cheddar or parmesan can lend sharper flavor profiles. It’s simple, quick, and customizable—ideal for snackers and home cooks alike. Pair it with soup, a green salad, or enjoy it solo with a cup of tea.

A fun twist for cheese lovers seeking something beyond the usual melt, this version refreshes cheesy toast with elevated taste and texture.
