Number Of Ingredients 9

75 g Red Leicester cheese (or other strong red cheese)
75 g Mature white cheddar cheese
5 tbsp Mayonnaise
1/4 tsp Paprika (sweet and mild)
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp Black pepper (ground)
1/4 Small red pepper
2 Salad onions
11 Slices Bread (White or Brown)

Steps:

  • Begin by chopping the red pepper finely and leaving to drain on kitchen paper
  • Next, finely dice salad onion
  • Mix mayonnaise with paprika and dijon mustard
  • Grate the cheddar cheese and Red Leicester cheese finely, then toss together in a bowl - use your hands, it's easy this way
  • Add in the pepper & onion and mix again with your hands
  • Finally, stir in the mayonnaise using a metal spoon
  • Cover and chill until ready to use
  • Cut the crusts from the bread
  • Cut one of the slices of bread in half - we will only cut 1 sandwich from this slice
  • Lay 5 of the full-sized slices out, along with one of the smaller pieces of bread
  • Stir the filling briefly and spoon a generous amount onto each slice of laid out bread, spreading it out using a blunt knife
  • Top each slice with another piece of bread of equal size
  • Cut into slices - my bread allowed 3 sandwiches to be cut from each large piece of bread and just one from the smaller sandwich. In total, you should cut 16 small sandwiches
  • Cover until ready to serve and consume as soon as possible (within the hour to avoid the bread drying out)
