Ingredients
- 500 g (2 cups) cold leftover Bolognese sauce
- 330 g (2½ cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 thin slices white bread
- 50 g butter, softened
- 50 g (½ cup) grated parmesan
Instructions
- Mix the Bolognese sauce and 200 g (1½ cups) mozzarella together. Place half the bread slices on a board and divide the Bolognese sauce between them. Butter one side of the remaining bread slices and scatter each with a generous amount of parmesan, pressing it into the butter. Place that on top of the Bolognese mixture with the cheese facing out.
- Heat a small non–stick frying pan over low-medium heat (or have a couple of frying pans on the go at the same time) and fry one sandwich, parmesan – side down for about 3 minutes with a weight on top until the cheese is browned. Remove the sandwich from the pan.
- Sprinkle about ¼ cup of the remaining mozzarella into the pan in a mound about the same size as the toastie.
- Place the sandwich, uncooked side down into the pan on top of the cheese and fry for a further 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is golden and the sandwich filling has melted. Repeat for the remaining toasties.
