Spicy Nduja, Pear, Honey and Cheddar Cheese toasties with Berbers Cheese
A delightfully comforting cheese toastie with a zingy kick from the spicy nduja sausage, contrasting with the slices of pear and apple. A generous cheese filling which oozes when grilled makes the perfect toastie.
Ingredients
- 190 g Barber's 1833 Vintage Reserve Cheddar Cheese grated
- 100 g Nduja spreadable Italian sausage
- 1 ripe pear peeled and sliced
- Some honey
- Sourdough bread
- Butter
Instructions
- Lightly toast the bread to prevent a soggy toastie
- Butter both sides of the bread
- Spread the Nduja evenly over each slice of bread, be as generous as you like. This can be spicy so adjust to your own taste.
- Lay slices of the pear and apple across the nduja
- Drizzle over some honey
- Top with a generous amount of grated cheese, enough to ensure that the cheese oozes out when cooked.
- Top with another slice of buttered bread
- You can use a toastie maker which will cook both sides evenly or you can do this is a frying pan.
- When cooking in a frying pan, cook on medium heat and cook until both the nduja and the cheese melts. Use a spatula to press down on the bread as it cooks.
- You will need to turn this over a couple of times to ensure that both slices of bread gets toasted.
- Serve while the cheese is still oozing with a cool glass of cider.
Notes
You can buy nduja from Waitrose or any specialist deli. For this recipe, we used a locally made nduja from Capreolus of Dorset. I like to use grated cheese instead of slices as you get a better melt.
