Lunch should have its own thread

I had croque forestierre in a Paul's cafe on Tuesday, so I thought I'd make my own today.

Serves 2

4 thick slices of crusty white bread
Chopped bacon or pancetta
Small chopped onion
Clove of garlic
Sliced mushrooms, mixed if poss
Grated cheddar
Creme fraiche or double cream

Heat grill until very hot

Lightly toast both sides of the breads

Fry the bacon/pancetta, onion and garlic until crispy. Add the mushrooms and fry until the moisture has evaporated. Drain off any remaining oil and bind into a spreadable mixture with a little Creme fraiche or cream. Season as wanted

Grate the cheddar and bind into a spreadable mixture with a little Creme fraiche or cream. Season as wanted.

Sandwich two pieces of toast together with the mushroom/bacon mixture, and do the same with the other two pieces of toast. Top the two sandwiches with the cheese mixture and place the croques under the grill until the tops are bubbling and golden. Nom
 
My local (excellent) chippy suffered a bad fire 7 months ago. It reopened this week. Doner kebabs half-price this week - so I had a large doner with salad, chilli sauce and chillies for £2.40. Yum!
 
tesco only had mini salad bowls today :mad: resulting in mass fury at the salad bar! Everyone was piling salad into massive, over flowing mountains in these riddiculous pea sized bowls.
