The Grown Up Cheese Toastie

Comfort food doesn’t come much more comforting than a toastie: bread, cheese, warmth – what’s not to love?

Try this version as a quick lunch or easy late night snack – it takes a few more minutes to prepare, but it is head and shoulders about the quick ham and cheese combo…

You will need:

Good quality bread (a sour dough will do nicely)

Butter

Finely grated parmesan

Gruyere

Fresh basil leaves

Charred zucchini/capsicum/mushrooms

Ham off the bone (optional)

Your favourite chutney

Salt and pepper

Method:

Soften the butter and mix in the parmesan. Spread this liberally on the outside of the bread.

Layer the other ingredients inside and toast in a non-stick pan or sandwich press.

Adding parmesan to the butter will create a crispy, tasty outside, which is incredibly more-ish!
