If you've got leftover bolognese sitting in the fridge, this might be the best thing you can do with it. Crispy golden bread, plenty of melted cheese and a generous layer of rich bolognese combine to create a toastie that's hard to beat.
It's quick, satisfying and a great way to stretch a batch of bolognese into another meal without feeling like you're eating the same thing twice.
If you haven't made it yet, start with our Butcher's Bolognese recipe before giving this toastie a crack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup leftover Butcher's Bolognese
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough or similar)

- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Place two slices butter-side down into a frying pan over medium heat.

- Place the remaining slices of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
- Cook over medium heat, pressing gently until golden underneath.
