Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices of good sourdough bread 

  • lots of butter 

  • pinch of chilli flakes 

  • few dashes of Worcestershire sauce 

  • 2 slices of leftover hard cheese (Cheddar, Gruyère or Comté)

  • relish of your choice 

  • thin slices of jalapeños 

Method

  1. Toast the bread lightly in a toaster and then butter both sides of each slice. On the bottom slice layer the cheese, sprinkle with chilli flakes and a dash or three of Worcestershire sauce. Some relish would do nicely if you like.

  2. Put the top slice on and press down lightly and place a few thin slices on top of the top slice. If using a toastie maker then do that, otherwise heat a frying pan up to medium-high and place the sandwich on pressing it down with a spatula and flipping it over halfway through until golden brown on the outside with the jalapeños well embedded in the bread and the cheese nice and melty. 

  3. Cut in half and devour.
