Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries
Cut your pepper[s] in half (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon)
Add the fries to a baking tray with half your mediterranean style seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up
Add the pepper half[ves] to the side of the tray and top with a small drizzle of olive oil
Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Use 2 trays!
Put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 10-15 min or until the pepper is slightly softened
Meanwhile, slice your tomato[es] into thin wedges
Peel and finely slice your shallot[s]
Cut your lemon[s] into wedges
Wash your salad and pat dry with kitchen paper
Crumble your Greek cheese into small, bite-sized pieces
Drain and pat your mozzarella dry with kitchen paper (squeeze as much liquid out as you can!), then tear into small, bite-sized pieces
Add the crumbled Greek cheese to a large bowl with the torn mozzarella and sliced shallot
Add the remaining Mediterranean seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your Greek cheese toastie mix
Slice your ciabatta[s] in half
Divide the Greek cheese toastie mix evenly between the ciabatta base[s]
Press the cheese mixture down firmly onto the ciabatta base[s] (clean hands is the best way!)
After an initial 10-15 min, remove the tray[s] from the oven and carefully remove the cooked pepper half[ves]
Return the tray[s] to the oven and cook for a final 10-15 min or until the fries are crispy and golden brown – these are your herby fries
Top the cheesy ciabatta base[s] with a cooked pepper half, hollow side down
Place a ciabatta lid on top – this is your Greek cheese ciabatta[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the Greek cheese ciabatta[s] and cover with a smaller pan
Add a heavy weight (eg. several tins) to the top pan and cook for 4-5 min per side, checking occasionally or until the ciabatta is golden and the cheese has melted – this is your Greek grilled cheese & pepper toastie
Cut the Greek grilled cheese & pepper toastie in half and serve with the herby fries and salad to the side
Top the salad with the tomato wedges, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil
Serve with a dollop of mayo and a remaining lemon wedge
Enjoy!
