Feet Up, Glass of Wine and Fire On

After a busy day Christmas shopping, the last thing you want to do it cook a full on supper. All you want is something easy, a glass of something very red or ice white, fire lit and something unbelievably trashy on the telly while you nurse your sore tootsies. So here’s a really easy supper that hits all the right buttons.

Cheese, Sage and Serrano Ham Toastie

(serves 1)

1 thick slice of rye bread

4 sage leaves, rolled and thinly shred

3 mini plum tomatoes, halved

3 slices of Serrano ham

Cheddar Cheese, sliced thickly

1 egg

Heat your grill to high and grill the bread lightly each side.

Add the sage leaves, tomatoes, ham and then finally with the cheese and grill for 2-3 minutes until bubbling and golden.

When your toastie is nearly done, heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the egg until white is set and edges are crispy and browned.

Serve toastie with the egg on top.

After Christmas Supper

Happy Christmas to you and I hope you get time to spend it with those you love and make you happy.
