CHEF’S SECRET
Add some slivered almonds or crushed hazelnuts to the cheese before grilling.
- Drizzle with maple syrup instead of honey for more complex flavour.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the fruits for a hint of spice.
- Experiment with different types of bread: brioche or whole grain bread create interesting textures and flavours.
- For a contrast of flavours, add a thin slice of prosciutto or grilled bacon between the fruits and cheese.
- If you enjoy sweet and sour, add a few drops of balsamic vinegar to the fruits before grilling.
- Garnish the finished sandwich with a sprig of fresh mint or basil for a touch of colour and freshness.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cheese or fresh goat cheese.
