Ingredients

1 slice bread (any type)
1 teaspoon tomato puree (or tomato paste)
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
12 teaspoon dried herbs (any combination)
14 garlic clove, crushed very finely
Tabasco sauce, to taste
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
12 ounce cheddar cheese, cut very thinly (good quality, mature, I use a potato peeler)

Directions

1

Preheat the grill (broiler?).
2

Meanwhile, mix together the ricotta, herbs, tiny amount of garlic, tabasco sauce, salt and pepper.
3

Grill the bread on one side, until it is your preferred colour.
4

Turn the bread over and grill very lightly on the other side, so that the bread is only just beginning to change colour.
5

Spread a very, very thin layer of tomato puree over the lightly-cooked side.
6

Too much tomato puree is not pleasant!
7

Spread the ricotta mixture over the tomato puree.
8

Put a single thin layer of cheddar cheese on top - I use a potato peeler to slice the cheese very thinly.
9

Grill until the cheese has melted and the whole sandwich is hot.

If necessary, trim off the burnt crusts!
