Anyone familier with this Swiss dish?

When i visited the jungfrau region i tried it in a local cafe. It was excellent.

It basically comprised of a thick slice of bread with ham and a fied egg on top. The whole thing is then covered in melted cheese level to the top of a 1.5" dish. Served very hot.

I know i am spelling it wrong as google doesn't throw up anything worthwhile. But i remember it definately being pronounced 'targ-ster'.

I would like to find an authentic recipe. Mainly for the cheese type and to see if anything i didn't spot was mixed into the cheese.

Still...hard to recommend on a first date....." You simply must try the Taggster here" might not be a winning line.

It was probably called "Tagesteller"... which in fact means "dish of the day"! So you could have been served anything at all depending on when you went there!

Bear in mind that in Swiss/German "Tagesteller" is pronounces "Tagershteller"...

EDIT : found this...

Seems the Tagesteller can also be called "Tagest" which translates as "hit of the day"... still the same principle though, it could be anything...

Tagesheit = Dish of the day. Remember that Swiss German is quite different from High German, and that rural Swiss accents are pretty extreme.

You are all indeed right it was Tagest which seems to be dish of the day.

I guess i will have to experiment with different melted cheese.

Bring on the coronary!!!
