Cheese on toast tastes better if one £1.20 British sauce is drizzled over it

Cheese on toast fits many occasions - from a post-night out snack to a warm and hearty stop-gap in the middle of the day, but one sauce will make it taste even better
Cheese on toast is a staple snack loved by Brits for generations - but one sauce can elevate your toast in a split second.
You can't go wrong with a good cheese on toast. Whether it's a quick, delicious snack, you can elevate its flavour by adding this one key ingredient. Do you have Worcestershire sauce?
‌
According to The Kitchn, food experts have recommended adding Worcestershire sauce to a cheese on toast to enhance its flavour and give it that sweet yet punchy kick to compliment the cheese.
‌
By experimenting and combining with different flavours, you can often find the best and most secretive ingredients to spice up your meals.
Originated in Worcester and now famously-known worldwide, Worcestershire sauce is made from vinegar-based, flavoured with anchovies, turmeric, garlic, molasses, onion, salt and other spices. When mixed together, it becomes this delicious sweet but tangy flavour that goes perfectly with foods like cheese.
Tara Holland, who tasted the recipe, said: 'Cheese on toast has been an after-school staple snack for kids (and a post-pub miracle midnight munchie cure for adults) in the United Kingdom for decades, if not longer!'
As to when to add the sauce, Tara explained: 'Some might say toss the grated cheese in Worcestershire sauce before laying on the bread rather than drizzling the sauce on top before broiling.' However, this depends on the person's preference and the amount of sauce they'd like to add.
'I always add before and after. Another thing to bear in mind is if you use sliced cheese, the Worcestershire sauce either pools or slides off the cheese, so it is better to add it after broiling the cheese," she added. Doing so creates this immaculate bite.
By simply using three ingredients, you're bound to make the most delicious snack to be enjoyed at any time of the day. You just need a piece of bread, some cheese and Worcestershire sauce. The sauce is available to purchase in all UK supermarkets and local stores, with prices starting at £1.20.
If you're feeling adventurous and want to pair it with other dishes, Worcestershire sauce also goes well with grilled cheese and mac and cheese. Its sweet and tangy flavour just elevates any dish by adding the extra touch of missing richness, creating a one-of-a-kind creation. You'll thank me later.

Why you should be turning your fans around this weekend to survive the soaring temperatures – never point them at you

You could be adding £50 to your electric bill for no reason COOL IDEA Why you should be turning your fans around this weekend to survive the soaring temperatures – never point them at you Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH temperatures soaring across the UK this weekend, many of us will be reaching for our fans for some relief from the hot weather. However, according to some experts many of us have been using our cooling devices all wrong causing them to become less efficient and cost us more. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Directing your fan at you is the worst way to cool down according to experts Credit: Getty Here, energy-efficiency experts Green Improve reveal a simple heatwave hack that will save people money this summer. Electric fans may make rooms feel warmer when used incorrectly. Rather than positioning them inwards where they circulate hot air within rooms, fans should be directed towards windows to blow hot air outside during a heatwave. Daniel McCowan, Director of Green Improve Ltd, also says that Brits should be 'strategic' when it comes to opening windows. 'UK homes are designed to retain heat,' says Daniel. 'By opening windows during a heatwave, people trap hot air inside the home and worsen the situation.' By strategically opening windows during cooler periods, Brits can avoid overheating and save money on their electricity bills this week. Daniel says windows and curtains should remain closed during the hottest hours, which are usually between 10 am and 4 pm. They can then be opened during cooler evening periods to allow heat to escape and fresh air to circulate. If someone opens their windows and allows excess heat into the home, they're more likely to rely on expensive electric fans to cool down. My dream pool was £40,000 so I DIYd my own 18ft version in February all for this summer heatwave - it's saved me £37,000 "Electric fans are an unnecessary expense during a heatwave,' McCowan adds. 'For example, running a 200W fan for 8 hours every night from May through August could add around £53.21 to electricity bills in the UK.'

Tomatoes grow bigger and juicier if five plants are kept away from your patch

Carefully considered companion planting is an essential exercise for a thriving garden — one that could reward gardeners with an abundant harvest of juicy and flavourful tomatoes Brits are being urged to avoid sowing certain plants nearby their tomatoes - to guarantee a 'big and juicy' harvest. While tomatoes thrive with plenty of sun and water, they are also sensitive to the company they keep in the garden. This is because some plants compete with tomatoes for vital soil nutrients, attract common pests, or release substances that inhibit tomato growth and fruiting. ‌ By keeping five specific plants away from your tomato patch, you can reduce competition, minimise pest problems, and promote healthier, more productive tomato plants. According to Netmums, careful companion planting is essential for a thriving garden and will reward you with an abundant harvest of juicy and flavourful tomatoes. ‌ 1. Cabbage Cabbage is a problematic neighbour for tomatoes. As a member of the brassica family, it aggressively consumes the same soil nutrients tomatoes need. Cabbage's extensive root system can also dominate the soil, depriving tomatoes of essential nourishment. Additionally, cabbage plants release chemicals that inhibit the beneficial fungi tomatoes rely on, further stunting tomato growth. The result is weaker tomato plants, fewer flowers and reduced fruit yield. 2. Corn Though tomatoes and corn pair well on a plate, growing them side by side invites trouble in the garden. Both plants attract similar pests, particularly moth larvae. This increases the risk of infestations, which can severely damage both crops. Furthermore, corn and tomatoes are vulnerable to similar fungal diseases, so planting them together doubles the chance of outbreaks. To minimise pest and disease problems, it is best to avoid planting corn next to your tomato patch. 3. Broccoli Like cabbage, broccoli belongs to the brassica family and shares similar nutrient demands. Both broccoli and tomatoes are heavy feeders, meaning they require large amounts of soil nutrients. When planted close together, they compete fiercely for these resources, often leaving tomatoes nutrient-starved and stunted. Broccoli's robust growth can overshadow that of tomatoes, limiting their access to sunlight. To ensure your tomatoes develop fully, keep broccoli well away from them in your garden. ‌ 4. Dill While young dill plants can be beneficial by repelling aphids, acting as a natural pest deterrent around tomato plants, once it matures dill can become harmful. Mature dill interferes with tomato root development, stunting growth and reducing fruit production. While dill tastes delicious and is a great herb for culinary use, it should be kept away from your tomato patch once it reaches maturity to avoid negative effects on your tomatoes. 5. Fennel Fennel is widely regarded by gardening experts as a poor companion for many vegetables, including tomatoes. It produces natural chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants nearby. This effect, known as allelopathy, can stunt tomato plants and reduce their productivity. Due to its aggressive nature, fennel is best grown in isolation, such as in a separate pot, to prevent it from harming your tomato crop. Keeping fennel away from tomatoes will help maintain a healthy, thriving garden environment. So while tomatoes need sun and water, their success also depends on avoiding certain neighbours. Cabbage, corn, broccoli, dill (when mature) and fennel all negatively impact tomato growth through competition, pest attraction, or chemical interference. By keeping these five plants away from your tomato patch, you can enjoy growing bigger and juicier tomatoes in your garden.

Why playing EuroMillions now gives you the best chance of winning £14m jackpot

GAME ON Why playing EuroMillions now gives you the best chance of winning £14m jackpot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PLAYING the EuroMillions tonight gives you the best chance of bagging the £14million jackpot. A Lucky Irish ticket holder won the biggest ever prize of £208million this week and the jackpot has now reset.

This is because less people are likely to play because it's not a mega jackpot and that means any winnings could be split between a smaller group. A spokesperson for Allwyn, which runs the National Lottery, explained: "EuroMillions is designed to be a huge, rolling jackpot game. "So, we always have more people enter as the jackpot rises and excitement grows. "We also see more syndicates and groups playing the game as the jackpot climbs. "However, every draw, the odds of winning the jackpot remain the same no matter what the jackpot amount. "You could possibly argue that, if fewer people play, then you are potentially less likely to share the jackpot with other winners." The spokesperson added that, ultimately, any lottery is a game of chance and anything can happen, especially depending on what numbers are drawn and based on number combinations. Of course, always remember to only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a spending limit before you play. Visit or if you need help. If you do win the EuroMillions tonight, any prize must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date.

The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49 and the Lucky Stars are: 03, 05. While one lucky person in Ireland won the jackpot, dozens of Brits also scooped prizes.
