Grilled Cheese Toastie with a crown | Jamie Oliver

Hello lovely people, Mr. Oliver here. The other night me and my wife, the lovely Jules, got in from a late night out and she had the munchies and she asked me and she fancied a cheese toastie and this toastie seemed to generate a lot of conversation on social media and I love that. I love that and of course the ultimate is always subjective but I do have a certain way of doing it and I do happen to love it and it's called a cheese toastie with a crown. So let's do it. I've got brown bread, some nice cheddar and then we've got some butter. First up you have to take your bread, butter it from one corner to the next and then I'll turn it and I'll butter it again. I'm just going to use a nice non-stick pan. Now with the cheddar, be fairly generous, then we're going to put our little piece of bread on top. So we're going to go in a pan on a medium low heat, so 3 minutes each side, medium, medium low So 3 minutes in, what we're going to do is we're going to turn this toastie. Again, nothing radical yet. You can see that it's got crispy, the fat is dancing, it's gone nice and golden and what I like to do at this moment in time is use a little bit of gravity. So what I'm going to do is put something flat on top and that kind of weighs the sandwich down and let's have a look at the bottom. We have a beautiful, standard, crispy sandwich. Then the crown happens. From a height, we're going to do long strokes of the cheese into the pan. Take a little pinch of paprika. Now we can put our beautiful crown together. Just get a nice little spatula, get under your sandwich, pick it up Crisp bread, oozy cheese on the inside and then this kind of little crispy, crunchy, almost burnt sort of cheese inside. Absolutely incredible. So then the question is what to go with it and I can never make my mind up. So what I do, which is filthy, is I go a little ball of ketchup, then bordered politically by mango chutney and then brown sauce and from anyone outside the UK, you won't have a clue what brown sauce is but it's a really dark, delicious sauce that is gorgeous and oozy and on the inside, yeah! Gorgeous! How do you do your cheese toastie? I know you have your own way. What's your secret? Let's get the conversation going. Until next time, take care.
