Ingredients

2 slices white sandwich bread
2 slices Fikra Cheddar
1 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
A pinch of dried oregano (optional)

Fikra Cheddar 2.20 د.ك

Method

Lightly butter one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice butter-side down in a cold non-stick pan and add both Fikra Cheddar slices.
Top with the second slice, butter-side up, and sprinkle with oregano.
Cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, pressing gently, until golden.
Flip and cook 2–3 minutes more until the cheese is fully melted. Cut and serve.

Chef’s tip: Low heat is the secret: the bread turns golden while the cheese has time to melt all the way through.

Kidney tip: unsalted butter keeps the sodium down. Pair with cucumber or apple slices for a fresh side.
