Equipment
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
Sandwich Base
- 2 slices wholemeal or crusty bread The base of the sandwich
- 1 tbsp butter or mayonnaise Adds richness and prevents sogginess
- 50 g mature cheddar cheese The star ingredient, providing a strong, sharp taste
- 2 sweet gherkins or pickle slices A tangy contrast to the cheese
- 3 slices halal smoked turkey or beef Optional, but adds extra flavor
- 2 slices tomato For freshness and juiciness
- Handful of lettuce or arugula Adds crunch and balance
- 1 tbsp Branston Pickle or alternative chutney The signature ingredient that ties everything together
Instructions
- Spread butter or mayo evenly on both slices of bread. This keeps the bread from absorbing moisture from the other ingredients.
- Layer the cheddar cheese first, followed by slices of turkey or beef (if using).
- Add tomato slices, lettuce, and gherkin pickles for crunch and contrast.
- Spread Branston Pickle generously on the top slice of bread for that iconic sweet and tangy kick.
- Assemble the sandwich, pressing it together gently to keep everything in place.
- Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap it up for an easy, on-the-go lunch!
