Renowned chef Jamie Oliver unveils his ‘ultimate’ cheese toastie recipe, promising a delightful culinary experience that will leave your taste buds satisfied. According to Oliver, achieving the perfect toasted cheese sandwich requires precise steps, starting with choosing neutral white bloomer bread for an optimal canvas.
Oliver’s recipe calls for generous amounts of high-quality cheese, such as Cheddar or Red Leicester, or a combination of both for added flavor and color. The cheese should be grated to ensure even melting.
The assembly process begins with lightly buttering two slices of bread on both sides. Next, spread the grated cheese evenly on one slice, then top with the remaining slice. Heat a sturdy, non-stick frying pan over medium heat and place the sandwich inside, cooking for three minutes on each side until lightly golden.
For an extra layer of cheesy goodness, Oliver recommends removing the toastie from the pan, grating more cheese directly into the empty pan, and adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. Place the toastie back in the pan for a minute, allowing the cheese to bubble and create a crispy, lace-like crust on the bottom.
Oliver’s secret touch is to lift the toastie from the pan and hold it over a fish slice for 30 seconds, allowing the melted cheese to hang down and set in a crown-like shape. Finally, flip the toastie and cook until golden.
Let the toastie cool for a few minutes before indulging in the cheesy, gooey goodness. Jamie Oliver’s ‘number one sarnie’ recipe guarantees a satisfying and flavorful lunchtime treat that will impress your taste buds and leave you craving more.
