If you don't have a toasted sandwich maker, use a non-stick fry-pan on a medium heat and flip sandwich at 1 minute or when browned.
When possible, choose a wholemeal based multigrain bread compared to a white flour based bread to increase fibre and nutrient content.
This recipe can be made vegan or lactose free without the addition of cheese.
