He revealed the secret to a perfect cheese toasty is a coating of mayonnaise over the outside of the bread.

Tristan explained that adding a layer of mayonnaise instead of butter to the outside of the toasty will help the bread to brown more evenly as it toasts.

It also reduces the risk of burning the bread which will definitely ruin your toastie.

The FSA warn that burnt toast could pose a cancer risk, owing to acrylamide, a chemical formed when starchy foods are cooked at a high temperature.

So make sure you toast with caution and check on yours regularly.
