TOP TIPS FOR THE PERFECT TOASTIE

*Spread salted butter or rub a garlic clove on the outside of your sandwich for a golden crust and added flavour.

* Pickled vegetables are a great toastie accompaniment as they can help cut through rich cheese.

* Ideally, use one-day-old bread – it’s not too soft and crisps up well.

*Take the cheese out of the fridge an hour or so before making your sandwich.
