Hasselback Sarnie
Hasselback Sarnie...or the ultimate bacon sarnie! Ham, pancetta, bread and a double cream and cheese sauce. The ultimate indulgence!
Ingredients
- 1 oblong sourdough loaf
- 12 slices of good-quality ham
- 36 slices pancetta, fried until crisp
- 1 small bunch parsley
For the sauce
- 50g butter
- 35g plain flour
- 400ml full fat milk
- 400ml double cream
- 600g cheddar, grated
- Black pepper
Method
- Heat the oven to 200C.
- Heat a pan to medium heat, then add the butter. When it’s foaming, whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or two. Whisk in the milk, cream and ⅔ of the grated cheese, and when it’s bubbling, take off from the heat and season with pepper.
- Cut the bread from the top to the bottom, about 90 percent through, and 1 cm slices apart. Then sit on a large rectangular piece of foil with a base of greaseproof.
- Spoon the sauce into each slice and fill with ham and pancetta. Then spoon any remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle on the remaining cheese, and dot with parsley.
- Place onto a tray lined with baking paper, then place into the oven. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
