Cheese toastie

Ingredients

For 1 portion

• 🍞 2 medium slices white bread
• 🧀 50g cheddar cheese
• 🧈 2 Tsp butter

Method

1. Grate the cheddar (it melts more evenly than slices). Soften the butter if it's hard.
2. Spread the butter thinly over one side of each slice of bread, right to the edges.
3. Lay one slice butter-side down in a cold frying pan. Pile the cheese evenly over it, leaving a small border, and top with the other slice, butter-side up.
4. Cook over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the underside is deep golden.
5. Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted. (In a sandwich toaster, 3–4 minutes in all.)
6. Leave for a minute so the cheese sets slightly, then cut in half diagonally and serve.
