Best recipe review Bloody genius! 5/5 I wish I had known about this when I had my first bed-sit, 50 years ago! Mind you, I don't think I owned an iron then! Paul R Smith

• 1 slice of bread cut in two
• 200 g Cheddar cheese cut about 3 to 4 mm thick, enough to go almost to the edge of the bread
• 2 teaspoons of Butter or margarine
• Tin foil
• A clothes iron

Mise en place

• Ensure the iron is not on the steam setting. Set it to the hottest setting. Once the light goes out for the first time we're ready to cook!

  1 clothes iron, a cheese sandwich buttered on the wrong-side and a clothes iron

Method

1. Lay the cheese on un-buttered bread
2. Fill the sandwich with enough cheese to go just to the edge of the bread
3. Butter both slices of bread on the outside - no butter goes in the middle of the sandwich
4. Lay the sandwich on a single piece of fin-foil
5. Wrap well so the contents won't leak
6. Place the iron on top of the foil sandwich, leave for 5 minutes.
7. Turn the sandwich and iron the other side for another 5 minutes
8. Eat!
