Jarlsberg toasted sandwich
Here is the Laurel Bank-type toasted sandwich done my way – it’s a great quick and fulfilling lunch or snack.
A toasting machine is certainly the best way to produce the oozing, crispy sandwich but this is second best and allows you to get more filling in. Vary the filling to suit your choice and what is in your fridge.

Ingredients
Serves 1
Butter for spreading
2 slices bread of your choice, thinly cut
Little dijon mustard
1 slice Jarlsberg cheese
Fresh chives
1 slice homemade ham
1 small ripe tomato
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Method
Spread some butter and then mustard on each slice of bread on one side.
Lay the cheese on one slice and snip over some fresh chives. Lay the slice of ham and tomato slices. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper and top with the other slice of bread. Press down fairly firmly with your hand.
Put some butter into a frying pan. When just bubbling, place the sandwich in the pan using a spatula. Turn heat to medium and fry until the bottom is golden brown. Turn and repeat. When golden on both sides the cheese should be melted and gooey. Cut into quarters and serve hot.
