Roasted butternut, gorgonzola and spinach toasties
Italian 5 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Cut the peeled, halved and deseeded butternut into 3cm thick slices and place on the tray. Drizzle with the olive oil and roast for 25 minutes or until tender.
- In a large non-stick pan, sauté the spinach with a pinch of salt until wilted. Use your spoon to press out any excess liquid.
- Brush the oil onto one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer the butternut slices onto the other side of the bread and top with spinach and the sliced Gorgonzola.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and fry the sandwich until golden on one side (use a heavy-based pan or lid to weigh it down) for 2-3 minutes then flip over and repeat on the other side.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and set aside.
- Return the pan to the heat and grate a generous layer of Parmesan to cover the base of the pan. Place the sandwich back in the centre of the pan and fry until the cheese is golden and crisp.
- Using a spatula or palette knife, lift the toastie straight up so that the cheese hangs over the bread to form a cheese crown.
- Repeat this process with the other toastie and serve immediately.
