Ingredients

8 total
  • 13g butter, plus extra for spreading
  • 13g plain flour
  • 125ml milk
  • 0.5 tsp english mustard
  • 50g haggis
  • 2 slices sourdough
  • 90g gruyère, grated
  • 2 slices ham

Method

5 steps

  1. Step 1

    For the bechamel, melt the 13g butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir continuously with a wooden spoon to make a paste. Cook for 2 mins, then gradually add the milk, stirring to a smooth sauce. Cook for 5-10 mins more, stirring, until thickened. Stir in the mustard, season to taste and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the haggis – either microwave it on high for 30 secs or fry in a pan until crumbly and piping hot.

  3. Step 3

    Butter the bread, then lay it butter-side down on a board. Spoon the haggis onto one slice, then top with two-thirds of the cheese and the ham. Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat the grill to high. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the sandwich and fry for 2 mins on each side, pressing down with a heavy saucepan to seal the filling, until melted and golden.

  5. Step 5

    Smear a heaped tbsp of the bechamel over the sandwich, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese and grill until bubbling. Slice in half and serve.
