Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of pre-sliced soft bread
- 1.5 Tbsp Kerrygold salted butter, softened
- 30g Kerrygold Mature Cheddar cheese
- 2 slices of ripe tomato, drained on kitchen paper
- A few thinly cut red onion slices
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on the outside of each slice of bread.
- Build the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer the thinly sliced onions, cheese, and tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top the Sandwich: Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
- Prepare the Jaffle Iron: Place the sandwich in a preheated jaffle iron that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Trim any excess bread from the edges.
- Cook: Set the jaffle iron over low coals or on your smallest gas burner set to low. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown, checking frequently to avoid burning.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-quality jaffle iron to achieve a perfectly crispy exterior.
- If you don’t have a jaffle iron, a panini press or skillet can be used as alternatives.
