Sizzler has finally revealed the secret recipe for itsfamous cheese toast after the all-you-can-eat chain announced it's shutting all of its Australian restaurants.

The cheese toasts have been the star menu attraction for more than 35 years - and now diners will now be able to recreate the iconic side dish at home.

Dozens of DIY recipes claiming to replicate the dish have circulated on social media for years, but this is the first time the restaurant has shared exactly how it makes what is now considered an Aussie favourite.

To make the toast, you'll need just three ingredients - thick sliced white bread, pecorino cheese and margarine.

The first thing to do is combine 'equal amounts' of margarine with cheese in a bowl to create a thick paste.

Next, spread a generous amount of the spread on one side of the bread.

Over a low-medium heat, place the bread butter side down on a flat grill and toast for about 60 seconds, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.

The iconic cheese toasts are typically served free with every meal at Sizzler restaurants.

'The basic recipe for Sizzler Cheese Toast has not changed since it originated in the USA more than 40 years ago,' the chain wrote on its website.

'Cheese toast is a delicious blend of textures and flavours, with soft chewy bread on one side complimented by crisp toast on the other and, the subtle yeasted bread flavours contrasting with the sharp flavour of pecorino cheese.

'It's the best thing since sliced bread.'

The cheese toast comes just weeks after the chain announced all remaining restaurants in Australia will permanently shut its doors in November.

'It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that after 35 years it is time to say goodbye. The difficult decision has been made to close all remaining Sizzler Australia restaurants this November,' the chain wrote on its website.

'We are so very grateful to our dedicated staff and we want to thank each and every one of our customers for supporting us and creating and sharing memories at Sizzler over the past 35 years.

'Our restaurants will remain open until the last day of trade on November 15 2020, so there is still time to enjoy all your grill and salad bar favourites.

'We hope to see you all for one last slice of Cheese Toast.'

As recently as 2015, Australia was home to 26 Sizzlers.
