Mac'n'Cheese Toasted Sarnie

So simple so why put up a post? Well this isn't going to be just the recipe, but also explaining the root of the inspiration. A month ago on a whim and an empty stomach, my friend and I thought we'd see what all the fuss was about at the Dalston Street Feast.

"The food market that knows how to party."
- Time Out London

It certainly lived up to expectations; it was food, fun and cocktail heaven. The only problem was knowing where to eat first! Amazing vendors such as Bill or Beak, Rola Wala, the Meringue Girls and a whole lot of other dribble worthy places made an appearance over this 22 week long market. What really stood out for me were the Grill My Cheese offerings. Artery clogging overload commenced when we ordered a portion of their Buff Tings; buffalo wings with a perfectly tangy blue cheese sauce. It was the Baby Got Mac that really did it for me..Oh holy mother of cheese it was good. Basically macaroni cheese stuffed between slices of bread, but grilled to perfect, cheesy ooziness perfection. I just had to have it again, but now I've returned back to Harper Adams University in Shropshire, I felt it was slightly over the top to drive the 5 hour round trip to get my fix, so here is my interpretation.

You'll see I posted a recipe for Macaroni Cheese recently with chorizo, but please feel free to experiment with anything and let me know what crazy concoctions you create.

Ingredients
2 door wedge slices from a Sourdough loaf
Butter
A generous slap of left over macaroni cheese 
Extra grated cheese for good measure

WARNING THIS IS NOT FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GET IN THAT TIGHT OUTFIT FOR WORKS CHRISTMAS DO! OVER INDULGERS ONLY!

Heat up the macaroni cheese you intend to use for a couple of minutes to ensure the end toastie is hot all the way through. Butter the outside of one bread slice and start to fry, butter side down, in a pan over a medium heat. Sprinkles half of the grated cheese on the frying slice of bread, then carefully load the macaroni cheese and spread over evenly. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the macaroni cheese. The cheese as it melts will help everything stick together for when you have to flip over the toastie. Now butter one side of the remaining bread slice and place on top of the cheese butter side up. Continue frying for around 5 minutes, checking that the bread hasn't started to catch and burn. Now it’s time to flip this baby over..careful does it! Fry on the remaining side until golden and crispy then enjoy!
