ingredients
- 1 slice bread (any type)
- 1 teaspoon tomato puree (or tomato paste)
- 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried herbs (any combination)
- 1⁄4 garlic clove, crushed very finely
- Tabasco sauce, to taste
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1⁄2 ounce cheddar cheese, cut very thinly (good quality, mature, I use a potato peeler)
directions
- Preheat the grill (broiler?). Meanwhile, mix together the ricotta, herbs, tiny amount of garlic, tabasco sauce, salt and pepper.
- Grill the bread on one side, until it is your preferred colour.
- Turn the bread over and grill very lightly on the other side, so that the bread is only just beginning to change colour.
- Spread a very, very thin layer of tomato purée over the lightly-cooked side. Too much tomato purée is not pleasant!
- Spread the ricotta mixture over the tomato purée.
- Put a single thin layer of cheddar cheese on top - I use a potato peeler to slice the cheese very thinly.
- Grill until the cheese has melted and the whole sandwich is hot.
- If necessary, trim off the burnt crusts!
