If you’ve spent much time on social media this week, you may have come across people raving about Viking Toast.

From TikTok to Twitter, an easy recipe from the new Pinch of Nom: Enjoy cookbook is getting rave reviews — not least on Facebook where members of their 980k-strong dedicated group have been sharing their love for the simple dish, with one word coming up time and time again: “delicious.” 

Created by Kate and Kay Allinson, they say it was inspired by a topping on an earlier recipe they published called Viking Pork. “Inspired by the melty cheese and onion from our Viking Pork recipe, we thought we’d try out the same golden, tangy topping on toast (and it works a treat!),” they say.
