Surely everyone here has eaten at Sizzler at least once in their lives. Who here still has fond memories of their all-you-can-eat salad bar and the amazing value meals on the menu?
Of course, a Saturday visit to the legendary restaurant was not complete until the iconic cheese toast was brought to the table.
For many Aussies, this soft and crunchy cheese bread was always one of the highlights of the family restaurant's menu. So much so that many of us probably still remember the delicious and mouthwatering smell that came from a freshly made batch!

Unfortunately, the pandemic has resulted in the closing of all remaining Sizzler's restaurants in the country, leaving many people heartbroken.
Gone, but never forgotten—this led to many Aussie foodies searching highs and lows just to find something that can fill the void in their hearts (and stomachs) left by the restaurant's iconic cheese toast.
So if you're craving Sizzler's famous cheese toast like we are, then we have good news: it seems like they're back on the menu!
And by menu, we mean supermarket shelves, because foodies everywhere are all raving about discovering a 'perfect dupe' for the iconic cheese toast.
Dannii Rodgers posted a video on TikTok, urging any fellow cheese toast fans to quickly head over to the supermarket because there's a bread that 'tastes exactly' like Sizzler's toast, and it's selling out fast!
'If you know, you know. Let's give it a go.'

In the video, Dannii can be seen opening a package of La Famiglia Kitchen's traditional cheesy pan bread, which, according to many, tastes 'identical' to the cheese toast at Sizzler.
'This is what we're working with. It says you can put it on the grill or in the pan,' she said, and then went on to have a taste of the bread herself. 'Definitely the same vibe, and it's good!'
Many of the woman's viewers also expressed they were just as excited and happy as she was to find a dupe for Sizzler's cheese toast, and several promised to run to the supermarket to get some.
'ALDI has this, and I put it in the air fryer for six minutes. It's so good!' one person wrote in the comments section.
Another user agreed that the cheesy loaves of bread are extremely delicious; however, when they went to Woolies to get some, they were sold out. 'But I got some at Coles!' they added.
'OMG, this stuff is amazing,' said a third, while a fourth user went on to say, 'I'm pregnant, and I've forgotten all about these as I used to have them a lot. Now, since I've been reminded, it's a new craving. Ahhh! I need to get it!'
While it's true that many have found store-bought bread to be remarkably similar to those served at Sizzler, we can't help but believe that the restaurant's version is still a whole lot better. (Or is this just nostalgia?)
Luckily for us, as a 'farewell gift' to the thousands of people who have supported it over the years, Sizzler unveiled in 2020 how to prepare its signature cheese toast for those who are interested in giving it a try in their own homes.
Here's the recipe!
