Making a Cheese and Bean Toastie is so easy that even the kids can do it! Follow my step by step process to get this quick mini meal on the table in minutes.
Lay your 2 slices of bread out on a chopping board.
Open the can of beans and slowly scoop out as many as you need to cover one piece of bread in a single layer.
Be sure to drain the juice from the beans back into the can to stop your toastie becoming soggy.
Season the sandwich with black pepper (if using), then sprinkle with the grated cheese.
Top the sandiwch off with the second piece of bread.
Put the frying pan onto the hob and turn on the heat to a medium high (ie if your stove numbers are between 1 and 10, then choose a number 7 or 8).
When the pan is hot, add one teaspoon of butter and swirl it around the coat the pan evenly.
Carefully slide the sandwich into the melted butter and let it cook for about 4 minutes.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the sandwich over to cook the second side again for abut 4 minutes.
Check the filling - the cheese should be melted and a baked bean from the centre of the sandwich should be hot.
If it’s not cooked enough yet, carefully flip it back over for another few minutes.
Remove the cheese and bean toastie from the pan onto a chopping board or plate.
Cut in half and let it cool for a few minutes before eating!
