Savoury Toast (Tasmania)

Good old fashioned melty cheese mixed with sauces/relish and spices, piled on sliced bread and grilled/baked until bubbly and a bit golden/burnt. Sometimes with egg, ham or bacon. Some say that Savoury Toast is a Tasmanian quirk of cheesy weirdness. I like this idea, but I suspect that other states and territories have something similar on the menu, albeit closeted away and eaten from the kitchen table on crisp mornings or chilly nights. Once you have made the mix and tried it on toast, you can adjust it to taste by adding more cheese or curry powder or salt or whatever. Our family occasionally added mashed potato to the mix. Sometimes even egg. We always had ours HOT and grilled or toasted - on sliced white bread - in the toaster oven. None of this baked palaver.

mozzarella cheese, grated (250 g)
mild cheddar cheese, grated (250 g)
sharp cheddar cheese, grated (250 g)
2 Tbsp. tomato relish
tomato sauce (250 g)
BBQ sauce (150 mL)
2 Tbsp. Keen's curry powder
1 Tbsp. Keen's mustard powder
1 Tbsp. mild paprika
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. white pepper, freshly ground
bacon or ham, chopped (optional)

Mix together. Spread on sliced, buttered toast bread and grill on the 'toast' setting in a toaster oven so both sides toast simultaneously. (OR grill one side of the bread, then flip it over and spread the cheese mix thinly across the un-grilled side. Then grill until bubbly.) It's quite important that it burns a tiny bit, so just keep that in mind.
