The ultimate grilled cheese sandwich

Method

1. Lightly toast the bread, then cool slightly. Spread butter on both sides of each slice, then divide the cheeses between them.
2. Heat a splash of oil in the pan over a medium heat. Add both slices of bread, cheese-side up, then cover with the lid to help the cheese start to melt.
3. After 2 minutes, remove the lid and continue frying until the underside of the bread is golden and the cheese looks melty. Carefully and quickly sandwich the 2 slices together so all the cheeses are in the middle, then gently press down with a spatula/fish slice and continue cooking until the cheese has melted and the bread is deep golden – it’s best to turn the sandwich every minute or so.
4. Slice, then serve straightaway with gherkins and pickle/chutney.
