AS WINTER IS APPROACHING and you feel like a pick me up either for breakfast or lunch, my toastie is a perfect treat.
This magnificent easy to cook toastie recipe is a wonderful combination of taste and flavour. It all starts when you transfer the prepared sandwich from your benchtop to the hot pan where foaming butter is awaiting the arrival of breads. As the bread is toasting, it absorbs the musto (English mustard and tomato sauce) spread and the flavour that is released when the ham is being heated through the toasting process is truly one of life’s great pleasures.
