Ingredients
3 ingredients- white bloomer bread about a centimetre thick
- room temperature butter
- cheese that melts well such as cheddar or Red Leicester
Method
14 steps- Butter both sides of the bread lightly with room temperature butter.
- Use a box grater to grate cheese such as cheddar or Red Leicester.
- Pile a handful of grated cheese onto the buttered bread and squeeze it together.
- Place the cheese-topped bread into a frying pan on low to medium heat.
- Cook for about three minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Place weights on top of the sandwich to flatten it and cook for a further few minutes.
- Remove weights and grate a layer of cheese around the bottom of the pan to create a cheese 'doily'.
- Place the sandwich on top of the cheese layer in the pan.
- Cook for about 1.5 minutes to bring out the flavors and fat from the cheese.
- Add a tiny pinch of salt (optional).
- Hold the sandwich and turn it four times to create a crispy crown.
- Add more cheese in the middle of the sandwich and turn it four more times.
- Leave the sandwich to rest for two minutes to allow the cheese inside to cool slightly and set.
- Serve with brown sauce or ketchup for extra flavor.
Recipe notes
Helpful tips
- Use a low to medium heat to prevent burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- Grating cheese directly into the pan creates a cheese 'doily' for added flavor and presentation.
- Rest the sandwich for two minutes after cooking to allow the cheese inside to cool slightly and set.
