September 15th is National Cheese Toast Day

National Cheese Toast Day is observed annually on September 15. 

This is a day to enjoy the cheesy goodness of this classic dish.

Cheese toast is a delicious thick slice of bread spread with butter and cheese, then toasted until it is browned and crispy.  It was created by Del Johnson of Los Angeles in 1958 when he opened his first Sizzler restaurant.  It was an instant success and although the recipe has changed a bit over the years, the concept of Cheese Toast has been around for more than five decades.
