This is hangover food, pure and simple. Yes. you could serve it with salad and yes, this may reassure your inner demon voice that at least you are consuming something not quite so beige. But honestly, this is beige brilliance! Comfort eating never tasted so awesome. Oh and a Wally (cockney slang for dill pickle) may just push it into the realms of heavenly. This one carries a public health warning though: only to be applied to face when feeling truly sorry for oneself and rotten.
You will need
Thick slices of a decent cheddar cheese
Grainy mustard, a good dollop
bread, 2 slices (I used, as always, seeded Rye)
1 egg, beaten
Butter, 1 large knob
Method
Make sandwich: bread, mustard, cheese, bread and squish together lightly. Put the beaten egg into a wide shallow dish (wide enough to accommodate the sarnie). Dip the sandwich in the egg on both sides and allow to reside there for a few minutes to soak up the egg. Meanwhile, in a frying pan heat the butter over a medium heat and when it's melted and bubbly fry the sandwich. Allow 2-3 minutes each side and then carefully turn more frequently, squidging the sarnie with a spatula as you go. How long it takes will depend on the density of the bread you use and the thickness of your slice. Rye bread is quite dense and it took me around 10 mins to get the golden, crispy shell and to be able to feel that the cheesey insides were melty.
