What you need...

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 slices ham
  • 2 slices Cathedral City Extra Mature Cheddar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

What you do...

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
  2. Put the eggs, milk, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  3. Carefully slice open one side of each slice of bread to form a pocket. Ensure that you leave 1 cm around the edges.
  4. Spread the mustard on one side of the pocket and place a slice of ham and Cathedral City inside.
  5. Put the stuffed bread into a shallow dish. Pour over the egg mixture and leave for 5 minutes, turning once.
  6. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, add half the olive oil to coat the base of the pan.
  7. Put each slice of bread into the pan and cook on one side for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Turn and cook on the other side for a further minute.
  8. Remove the bread from the pan and place on a baking tray. Put in the oven and cook for 10 minutes, or until the filling has melted.
