Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup red wine vinegar
1 red chilli, sliced lengthways
1 green chilli, sliced lengthways
1 t mixed peppercorns
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced lengthways
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 white onion, thinly sliced
8 slices white bread
butter, for spreading
200 g Cheddar cheese, grated

Method

To make the pickled onion, heat the red wine vinegar, chillies, peppercorns and garlic in a saucepan over a medium heat. Once it comes to a gentle simmer, remove it from the heat.

Add the sliced onions and allow the liquid to cool slightly.

Place four slices of bread butter side down. Top with the grated cheese and the pickled onions. Close up with the remaining slices of bread, butter side up.

Place the sandwiches in a jaffle iron and toast over the braai or a medium flame on a gas stove for about 3 minutes each side. Serve immediately.
