It’s British Sandwich Week from 22nd – 28th May and what better way to celebrate our iconic culinary invention than with a finger licking toastie. The addition of flavourful Kimchi and thinly sliced Bramley apple transforms your typical cheese toastie into a unique and tasty sandwich. You can use Granny Smiths or Golden Delicious apples if you prefer.

Go ahead and make it, I guarantee you’ll love it and be making it again, and again.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 slices of white bread
• Approximately 200g Kimchi, stop bought or homemade

Cooking Method

1. For each sandwich, spread butter on the outside of the bread making sure to spread evenly and to the edges.
2. Layer the apple, Kimchi and cheese onto one piece of the bread and top with the other slice of bread.
3. Heat a 26cm Sauté Pan over medium heat, add a knob of butter or a touch of some veg oil to the pan and make sure it is hot. Carefully place your sandwich into the pan, it should sizzle. Let it sizzle for a minute or until lightly browned, then cover with the lid, lower the heat to enable the cheese to melt.
