Ingredients
2 slices good pan loaf
Butter
50-110g grated cheese
A little English mustard (I like to mix it from the
dry mustard powder for a real punch!)
Method
Heat a dry pan on the stove/hob.
Butter both sides of the bread. Slather a little mustard on one slice (optional). Then spread an even layer of grated cheese out to the edges. Add some thinly sliced spring onion or leek on top. Season well. Press the second slice of bread onto the cheese. Lay butter side down onto the hot pan.
Weigh it down and allow to cook on a medium heat for 3 or 4 minutes until deep golden, flip over and cook on the other side.
For extra deliciousness, although optional, remove from the pan, sprinkle some grated cheese onto the pan. Allow to melt and begin to turn golden, press the toastie down onto the cheese, run a slice underneath so it adheres to the toastie and wrap a little around the side. It’ll crisp up and add an extra special flavour.
Cut in half and serve immediately as the cheese oozes out. Enjoy
