History

The history of National Cheese Toast Day began in the second half of the 20th century. Cheese toast, made with just toasted slices of bread and fresh cheese, was invented by the founder of the Sizzler restaurant in 1958. Shortly thereafter, cheese toast became very popular with the patrons of the establishment. Over time, various options for the snack appeared, including wheat bread, rye bread, and French buns.

Every year, the recipe is improved with new ingredients being added. Cheese toast can be consumed on its own or paired with other dishes like soup, salad, or fried meat. In 2015, to commemorate the cheese toast that made the restaurant a success, Sizzler USA created a special day to celebrate the dish.
