Bell Peppers and Sage Grilled Cheese Bites


How often does your lunch consist of the previous night's dinner leftovers? Fairly often? If so, what do you do? Simply reheat them and eat what is essentially the same dish for the second time in less than twenty-four hours? This creation came about when I had some bell pepper slices left over from dinner the night before but I didn't want another stir fry. Instead, I chose to come up with something quick, easy, tasty - and different.


Ingredients per Person

3 1" thick slices of French bread stick
3 or 4 slices of mixed bell peppers
2oz cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
Generous pinch of dried sage
Freshly ground black pepper
2 green lettuce leaves
4 cherry tomatoes
6 cucumber slices
Sea salt


Directions

Toast the bread slices on one side only. Lay them on a chopping board.


Cut each bell pepper slice in half and then to size that you can mix them up and lay them on the untoasted sides of the bread.


Cut the cheese slices to size that they approximately cover the bread and lay them on top of the peppers.


Places the slices carefully on to a grill tray and heat until the cheese is just melted. Season with black pepper and the dried sage and place back under the grill until the cheese is bubbling.


Shred the lettuce leaves and half the cherry tomatoes. Mix roughly with the cucumber slices, season with salt and pepper and lay on a serving plate, ready for the cheese and pepper slices coming out from under the grill.
