Tucking into a toasted cheese sandwich is one of life’s great pleasures, and this meltingly good version is the one members turn to over and over again.
Ingredients
Medium fat soft cheese
50 g
Shallots
2 medium, finely diced
Wholegrain Mustard
4 teaspoon(s), level
Pickled gherkins, no added sugar
5 small, drained, 1, drained and finely chopped, plus 4 extra gherkins, sliced, to serve.
Farmhouse White Bread
8 slice(s), medium
Half fat Cheddar cheese
45 g, grated
Calorie controlled cooking spray
4 spray(s)
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine the soft cheese, shallots, mustard and chopped gherkin, then season to taste
2
Spread the mixture over each of the 8 slices of bread. Scatter the grated cheese over 4 of the bread slices then sandwich with the remaining bread, soft-cheese-side down.
3
Mist a large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray then set over a medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese has melted – you may need to do this in batches. Serve with the extra sliced gherkins on the side.
