Man Toast
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott/Not Quite Nigella
Serves 1 hungry soul
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
- 1/2 a loaf of rectangular bread, not sliced
- 1.5 cups grated cheese
- 100g/3.5ozs. double or tripled smoked ham, chopped up
- 1/4 cup homemade ketchup or your faovurite brand
- Butter
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Cut out a centre square of the bread as shown and butter and cut this into cubes. Remove from the centre and cut indents around the outside. This is to make it easier to eat. Butter the sides of the bread cavity and fill with a mixture of the 3/4 of the cheese, all of the ham and all of the sauce. Place in the oven to melt the cheese- about 8 minutes or so.
Step 2 - Pile the cubes of bread on top and add the remaining 1/4 of the cheese on top. Place back in the oven to melt the cheese.
