Ham & Cheese Toastie with Brown Sauce

I don't have anything fancy for you today – just reminding you of a slightly changed up toastie using some leftover ham and also some of my brown sauce I made.

Ingredients:

4 slices of bread (I used mixed grain)

Spread or butter

Grated cheese

Finely sliced leftover ham

Salt and pepper

Brown sauce

Chilli pieces for garnish

Method:

Heat up your oven or grill till it's quite hot.  While it is heating, butter the bread and then put it butter side down onto some baking paper on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle each piece with grated cheese – trying to get it evenly across the slice – without falling off the sides.  Sprinkle your ham on and then a bit more cheese and some salt and pepper.  Spoon some dots of brown sauce onto each slice – you don't want to put too much so that the bread goes soggy but just enough to give a bit of a kick of flavour.

Cook in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes – don't forget to check them – it can be a fine line between golden and burned.  Serve after letting them sit for a minute or two with some chilli pieces for a garnish.
