Method
 

Creating the Cheese Mixture
  1. For the perfect cheese mixture, combine 50g grated Red Leicester or Cheddar with crème fraîche and English mustard. Your mixture should have a spreadable consistency while maintaining its richness.
Bread Preparation
  1. Now select two large slices of quality bread, ensuring they're about 1.5cm thick. This thickness is ideal for achieving the perfect crispy exterior while maintaining a soft interior.
  2. Mixture should be spread evenly to the edges of your bread, leaving no gaps. You want to create a uniform layer that will melt consistently.
Assembly Technique
  1. Little details make a big difference: layer your jalapeños strategically across the cheese mixture for even heat distribution and balanced flavor in every bite.
  2. With careful attention to detail, press the jalapeños slightly into the cheese mixture to ensure they don't fall off during cooking. This technique helps create a perfectly integrated final product.
