Est. Time: 20-30 min  •  5 Preparation Steps

Chef's Menu Description

An enticing artisan creation, freshly prepared with vibrant seasoning and served with complementary accompaniments.

Ingredients

  • • 2 thin slices wholemeal bread
  • • 40 g reduced-fat mature Cheddar cheese (finely grated)
  • • 1/4 of a Granny Smith apple, cored ((skin left on and thinly sliced))

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Preheat the grill on the medium setting. Place one slice of bread on the grill pan rack and spread half of the cheese over in an even layer.

2
Phase 2

Place the apple slices over the cheese in a single layer. Spread the remaining cheese over the apple slices.

3
Phase 3

Place under the preheated grill for about 2 minutes until the cheese is melting and the apples are starting to soften a little but still retain some crispness.

4
Phase 4

Place the remaining slice of bread on top of the cheese and apple. Grill for a further minute until the bread is toasted and lightly golden.

5
Phase 5

Turn the toastie over and grill the other side for about 1 minute, or until toasted and lightly golden. Cut in half and serve at once alone, with a crisp mixed salad or bowl of soup.
