Ingredients

• Bread.
• Butter.
• Vegemite.
• Aged cheddar, grated.
• Decent mayonaise.
• Jalapeños.
• Sun-dried tomatoes.
• Feta.
• Plum sauce.

Method

Toast the bread – if you do it under a grill rather than in a toaster, you can make sure you toast one side much lighter than the other, if you then put the toppings on this side you won’t need to worry so much about the bread burning around the sides when you grill the cheese. Spread butter and vegemite as normal, next smooth on some mayonaise, then plant a few slices of jalapeño, followed by a single sun-dried tomato, and a few small pieces of feta, lastly sprinkle cheese over the top and place under the grill until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown.

Optional: A healthy dash of plum sauce, or if that’s not available taco sauce, or if that’s not available nothing, or if you don’t have nothing tomato sauce.

Alternate version: And much more necessarily elaborate, with it. Subtract the feta & sundried tomato, making for a somewhat more focussed flavour combination. (The Unnecessarily Elaborate Cheese Toastie is delicious, but perhaps a bit much for what really needs to be a simple, comforting meal.)
