Greens and gruyère toastie
30 MINUTES | SERVES 4 | EASY
Everyone loves a cheese toastie, and this oozy, hot mess is my delicious take on it, made using swiss chard, cream and gruyère cheese.
butter 80g
spring onions 4, finely
sliced garlic 2 cloves, finely
chopped swiss chard 200g, de-stalked and finely sliced
double cream 100ml
gruyère cheese 150g, grated
english mustard 3/4 tsp
sourdough 8 slices
pickles to serve
• Heat 20g of the butter in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the spring onions and garlic, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chard and season well. Stir together and cook for 2-3 minutes or until wilted and all the moisture has evaporated. Add the cream, cheese and mustard. Mix well until you have a very thick, claggy sauce. Remove from the heat and cool a little.
• Use the remaining butter to spread over one side of each piece of sourdough. Place Ω the bread slices, buttered-side down, onto a chopping board. Top with the chard sauce and place the remaining sourdough, buttered-side up, on top.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sarnies and cook
2 at a time for 2-3 minutes each side or until crispy, golden and oozy. Serve immediately with pickles.
