Mixing bowl
Grater
Spatula

🧾 Ingredients

For one hearty sandwich:

Wheat flour: 20 g (approx. 2½ tablespoons)
Natural tomato purée: 30 g / 1 oz (approx. 2 tablespoons)
Organic egg: 1 large
Hard cheese (e.g. cheddar, manchego, or gouda): 30 g / 1 oz (grated)
Optional: A drizzle of olive oil for the pan, salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix it up
In a bowl, combine the wheat flour, natural tomato purée, and egg. Stir well until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. Add a pinch of salt or your favourite herbs if you like a savoury touch.
Cook the base
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Pour in the batter and spread it out like a thick pancake. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and set.
Add the cheesy heart
Once cooked, sprinkle the grated cheese over one half of the pancake while still in the pan. Let it melt slightly.
Fold & finish
Fold the pancake in half over the cheese to form a sandwich. Press gently with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
Serve hot
Remove from the pan and enjoy immediately! You can pair it with a fresh salad, a handful of arugula, or even some sliced avocado for a nutritious upgrade.

🌱 Tip: Make it your own

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable. Add chopped herbs, a pinch of paprika, or some sautéed onions for an extra punch of flavour. For a protein boost, toss in a few cooked lentils or tofu crumbles into the batter.
