Käseschnitte (Swiss cheese on toast)

Having just returned from a Swiss summer holiday, I have to add this recipe - we had a few variations of this, most were more like a glorious pizza than cheese on toast.

It's made really special by the addition of a fried egg on the top.

Best recipe review Use Morrisons's cheese 4.6/5 This is lovely, but real Swiss cheese is so expensive. Morrison's do a very reasonable substitute that tastes the same, at half the price. Paul R Smith

This really is a Grindelwald cow watching me try my first käseschnitte!
