Delia’s back, smarting from her spanking in the Scrambled Egg challenge. Would this see her rise from the ashes and re-establish her reputation?
Delia fared very badly last time out, so this was a good chance for her to reclaim her crown as Kitchen Queen. Unfortunately when I made this recipe I didn’t have an onion for the grated onion (doh) which probably affected the end product. This recipe was quick, easy, and tasted pretty good!

A great comeback effort Delia, good work…..
Taste - 3.5
Cheesey. Hint of mustard (Colman‘s, natch). Soaked into the toast. This tasted like a “proper” cheese on toast. I wish I’d had an onion to add it in grated form, but the recipe was very nice without it anyway. The rounded teaspoon of mustard powder together with cayenne pepper made it possibly a little too spicy for the average palate, but that’s a minor fault. I’d go for level, not rounded.
Presentation - 3.5
Delia’s scrambled egg was grey, thanks to early pepperisation, and this dish was also slightly off colour. It looked pretty good but not perfect, and the cheese mixture melted very nicely and evenly. The cayenne pepper added a lovely splash of colour.
Ease/Effort - 4
Easy and quick, and does exactly what you want. Cheese on toast in short order, but modify the spicy ingredients if you don’t like hotter foods. The recipe was extremely simple to follow, and gave a great result, can’t be bad.
