cheese and bacon toasties

Lately I've been obsessed with the idea of  "야식" which literally means "late night meals" or "late night dining" and by that I don't mean I've been eating meals at 2am in the morning but rather food that do not take over 10 minutes to make. (I'm lazy, I know). The ingredients for these "five minute snacks" are also meant to be always available - so they are things you can just grab from your fridge or pantry. So they are - cheap, not complicated to make, not heavy, accessible and tasty!

recipe: cheese and bacon toasties

what you'll need:

• sliced white bread 
• strips of bacon cut into strips (2cmx5cm)  
• cheese (mozzarella or cheddar is okay!) - I don't know what I used..my mum just gave me a bag of shredded white and yellow cheese.
• a healthy pinch of cayenne pepper and ground black pepper
• some parsely or spring onion
• optional: sauce such as tomato or barbecue sauce (I used tomato but prefer barbecue)

what to do:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 200°C. If you don't want your bacon and toast to be as crispy just turn down the heat. You can fry your bacon a little beforehand if you want your toast to be softer but still want crispy bacon. (I baked my for nearly 10 minutes on 180 °C)
2. Take out your bread and  spread your sauce on it. Then lay your bacon strips and spring onions  on top before covering this with a reasonable amount of cheese.
3. Place in the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and the crust of the bread is a dark golden brown colour.
4. Take out and sprinkle with a little pepper on top.
