Queijo E Chouriço – Portuguese Style!
A quick and simple fried sandwich recipe for rainy days and bbqs alike
Difficulty Level: easy
Ingredients
- ? bread – whichever type you prefer, i use white bread, you’ll need 2 slices
- ? about 80g of normal cheddar cheese
- ? 50g of mozzarella
- ? pack of sliced chorizo (you’ll only need 2 or 3 slices)
- ? butter
- ? vegetable oil (may need seasoning with veggie oil if you don’t use garlic oil – season to taste!)
- ? and a decent frying pan
- optional
- ? instead of veggie oil, use garlic infused olive oil for the ultimate portuguese flavour
Instructions
Before you start: get your pan on the heat, low-medium should do it.
1 ? butter one side of each slice of bread heavily
2 ? pour a little oil into the pan, it’s hot enough when the oil starts bubbling a little – not a lot!
3 ? place one of the bread slices butter-side down in the pan
4 ? quickly layer the cheddar onto the bread slice, then the chorizo, and then the mozzarella
5 ? place the other bread slice on top, butter-side up
6 ? use a fish slice or a spatula to flip (you’ll need to hold the sandwich carefully though, it’s a bit fiddly d:)
7 ? let each side fry until golden brown and the cheese has melted
8 ? serve up! Goes best with a cold drink, some slaw and salted crisps.
