Leftover Roast Gammon & Cheese Toasties

• 4 slices St Pierre Brioche Loaf
• 120g cheddar, grated
• 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
• Few rosemary leaves
• 1 tsp oil
• 1 tsp butter

For the roast gammon

• 1 kg raw gammon joint*
• 1 red onion, cut into quarters
• 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled and smashed
• 3-4 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp chopped rosemary leaves
• 1 orange, zested then juiced
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 orange, sliced

*You can use sliced of thick-cut roast ham for this instead of gammon if you don’t have any leftover gammon

To make the roast gammon:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C / 170°C fan / Gas Mark 5
2. To make the roast gammon, first place the gammon in a large pan of cold water so that it is just covered. Bring to a simmer then turn off the heat
3. Carefully transfer the gammon to a roasting tin and trim off any excess fat on the top (but leave a thin layer of fat as this helps to stop the meat from drying out). Throw away the cooking water
4. Tuck the onion and garlic around the base of the gammon
5. Mix together the ginger, butter, chopped rosemary and orange zest and rub all over the top and sides of the gammon
6. Cover with foil and seal around the edges of the tray. Roast in the oven for 50 minutes
7. Meanwhile mix together the honey and orange juice
8. After 50 minutes, remove the foil and drizzle over the honey and orange juice mixture
9. Add the sliced of orange on top and return to the oven, uncovered for another half an hour
10. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Remember to leave some leftovers for toasties the next day!

To make the toasted sandwiches:

11. To make the toasted sandwiches, divide half the grated cheese between two slices of brioche then sprinkle over the spring onions and a few rosemary leaves
12. Add a few chunky slices of the leftover roast gammon and top with the remaining cheese and slices of brioche
13. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat then add the oil and butter
14. Add the sandwiches and fry gently for a few minutes until the cheese is starting to melt and the brioche has turned golden brown
15. Carefully turn the toasties and cook for another couple of minutes on the other side before serving

Bon appétit!
