Ingredients

2 large ciabatta rolls or 4 thick slices of rustic style bread
4 large handfuls of mixed salad leaves
1 small red onion, finely sliced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2/3 tbsp grainy mustard
2/3 tbsp beer or cider
170g/6oz Lactofree Semi-Hard Cheese, grated
Freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Heat a grill to medium, cut each roll in half horizontally. Grill the bread until lightly toasted on both sides.
2. Meanwhile, place the salad and red onion in a bowl, toss with olive oil and balsamic and season with freshly ground black pepper.
3. In a small bowl, mix the grated cheese, mustard and beer/cider together. Roughly top the cheese mixture onto each piece of toasted bread, place on a baking tray under the grill and cook until melted and golden.
4. Place the cheese melts on individual serving plates and top each one with a handful of salad and serve at once.

Health notes

If you serve these generously topped bruschettas with a glass of fruit juice and a sliced tomato each, this lunch or supper will then provide you with 2 of your 5 a day as well as representing one of your ‘3 a day’ (of dairy foods) for calcium. For a lower fat recipe omit the oil and save almost 70 Calories and 7.5g fat per serving.
