Puffy cheese toasties

By Sam Woulidge

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

240 g grated cheese (I used a mix of Emmentaler and mature Cheddar)
3 T Hellmann’s mayonnaise
1 free-range egg
1 t baking powder
4 slices bread (I like low-GI seed wholewheat brown bread)
butter, for spreading on your toast

Method

Turn the oven’s grill to high.
Mix the cheese, mayonnaise, egg and baking powder well using a fork.
Toast the bread in a toaster, then butter.
Place a big tablespoon of the cheesy mixture onto each piece of toast and spread evenly. Place under the grill and bake until golden brown and puffy. Eat immediately.

Cook's note: Puffy cheese is similar to Welsh rarebit I suppose, or a croque monsieur, but without the fuss and the ham. Grated cheese, eggs and a dollop of mayonnaise (I grew up in the seventies after all) slathered on slices of bread and popped under the grill for a few minutes until it’s all puffed up and warm and soft inside. Kind of like you feel when you eat it.
