Mayonnaise fried toast: you didn't expect this! – Italian Cuisine

Have you read our rules for perfect toast, then all the alternatives from classic to more exotic, there is still the rainbow toast, but now the time has come to experiment with something more: spread the outer sides of your crusty bread with mayonnaise and then … fry them!
This is something that we felt we had to try for you!
First of all, let us say one thing: we feel a certain diffidence in you, mayonnaise for cooking it seems like a scandal isn't it? But no. We have already tried it in a dessert and we assure you of a top result (below the video).

In fact, the mayonnaise is composed of eggs, oil, lemon or vinegar in small quantities, therefore it has a very important fat component that we find in various recipes.
So Beatrice Prada, our stylist but also a great experimenter of recipes, during one of the quarantine days wanted to dare: a nice toast fried in mayonnaise. Result? Fantastic! The mayonnaise has browned well in a delicious and tasty crust.

And it's not over, the same method used it to toast – or rather fry – the bread for a wonderful sandwich with chicken, tomatoes, arugula and cheese.
What do you say, are you ready?

Arcobaleno toast … #CiPiace! – The Italian kitchen – Italian Cuisine

Maybe the rainbow food it was a trend and it will never be again but in this period the rainbow cheers up our balconies and why not, it could also cheer up our kitchens! And his portfolio is beautifully rich: rainbow cappuccinos, sushi, rainbow pancakes, cakes and muffins, and then also therainbow toast. And since we at the editorial team have really tried them all, I decided to brush up on this trend to entertain my little girl: it was easy and fun and the rainbow toasts are good … like the others!

Arcobaleno toast how to

There is no need for great explanations, we used gods food coloring powder, of vegetable origin, which are found in all supermarkets.
In three separate saucers we have grated coarse grain of the sweet scamorza. You can also use other stringy cheeses, such as fontina, Swiss hemmental, casera, caciocavallo. I do not recommend mozzerella, a little watery for toast, if you have that, drain it and cut it into small pieces.
In the different dishes we mixed a spoonful of coloring powder with cheese, there is no need to mix them very much, the heat will melt everything and it will be easy.
On each slice of sandwich bread put several piles of cheese, close your toast and toast them!

Expectations vs Reality

On the net there are photos that can distort reality, Chinese rainbow toasts are often made with cheeses already colored during production, which are not easily found in Italy

So don't expect this result.

The result is softer but still fun, especially for the little ones and to improvise a party of rainbows and unicorns.

The perfect toast is a serious matter. Here are many ideas to prepare it – Italian Cuisine

A well-made toast is always an excellent solution when you don't have time to cook. Here our tips to prepare it, in a classic or creative version

It is easy to say "I prepare a toast!". But making it a special one is another story. On the contrary: it is a completely different story, because it is a matter of excellent ingredients and perfect cooking. There choice of bread, for example, is very important and also that of filling, which must be tasty, but not excessively rich and heavy.
And then the perfect toast must be crispy at the first bite and enjoyable to eat.

The bread

Typically you use the crusty bread although many prefer the White bread.
The bread loaf is softer and does not lose its fragrance when cooked, while the pancarré is likely to dry out too much.
You can also use other types of bread, possibly sliced not too thick and with a not too hard crust. In this case, however, we will talk more about sandwiches than toast.
Pizzas, focaccias and bagels are an alternative, but be careful do not exceed with the filling.
In any case, always remember that the perfect toast must be heated on both sides.

The filling

The classic toast is stuffed with cooked ham and cheese.
Cooked ham must not have fatty parts and should be inserted between two layers of cheese.
As for cheese, many use the sottiletta because it melts and spins perfectly, but in our opinion fontina it keeps cooking better and is also tastier.
Obviously you can enrich the filling as you prefer also with a slice of tomato or other cold cuts.
And for the Saturday morning brunch, prepare the toast, but sweet version, with peanut butter, hazelnut cream, ricotta, honey, maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Cooking

The perfect toast is a question of cooking, but also of composition of the layers.
The first layer is the bread, the second the cheese, followed by the cooked ham, then again the cheese and finally the bread.
The toast must be inserted in the toaster or, even better in our opinion, in the specific plate.
If you don't have either, you can also heat it in a non-stick pan, two minutes per side, pressing it with the palm of your hand.
Remember that the cheese must melt, but not strain on all sides.
