Equipment
- Air fryer
- mixing bowl
- grater
Ingredients
- 2 large slices of good bread (1½cm-thick)
- 1 free-range egg
- 50g Red Leicester or Cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
- 1 heaped tsp English mustard
- 25g jarred sliced jalapeños
- 1 eating apple
- 1 little gem lettuce
- extra virgin olive oil
- red wine vinegar
- optional: Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Creating the Cheese Mixture
- 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
- 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.
- 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
- Little details make a big difference: layer your jalapeños strategically across the cheese mixture for even heat distribution and balanced flavor in every bite.
- 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.
