Jamie’s Tip - One of the most important things to remember is to spread
a thin layer of butter over each slice of bread before adding
your filling – not only will this add flavour, but it will also
protect watery things in the filling from soaking through
and making your sandwich soggy.

Pick which supermarket you want to send your ingredients to:
Ingredients
unsalted butter 10 g
wholemeal bread 2
mild cheddar cheese 20 g (sliced)
tomatoes 1 (sliced)
black pepper pinch
Method
Prepare
Take the butter out of the fridge so that it can soften ready for spreading.
Lay the slices of *wholemeal bread on a chopping board. Use a regular eating knife to spread the slices of bread lightly with butter, making sure you spread it right to the corners – this will make the bread waterproof.
On a chopping board, use a knife to carefully slice the cheddar so it’s roughly the thickness of a pound coin.
Slice the tomato to a similar thickness as the cheese.
Assemble & serve
Lay half the slices of cheddar evenly over one of the slices of buttered bread.
Arrange the tomato slices on top of the cheese, then season with a small pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
Evenly layer the remaining slices of cheese on top of the tomato.
Place the remaining piece of bread, butter-side down, on top and press down lightly with your hand to stick everything together.
Cut in half or into quarters, then serve straight away on a plate, or wrap it up and chill for later.
