Craving an extra kick? A hint of wholegrain mustard or horseradish sauce on the unbuttered bread adds a delightful tang!

Method

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until soft, golden, and caramelised. Set aside.

Butter one side of each slice of Hovis® Signature White. On the unbuttered side, layer the cheese, then add a generous amount of the caramelised onions and sliced leftover beef. Season with a little pepper. Top with the other slice.

Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan, buttered side down. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
