Me and Tesco are back with easy ways with your festive favourites. We asked you, what are the
most common leftovers that you had in your home, and you were loud and clear. So we've come back
with three recipes – a breakfast, lunch and dinner – that are gonna help you celebrate your Christmas
leftovers. So I'm going to show you the most delicious Christmas toastie. It's a thing of joy
and it's using up things I know a lot of you have. We've got turkey, stuffing, ham, Brussels,
carrots… And we're going to have some fun with this and make it absolutely delicious. So you
want to get, for kind of 2 nice toasties, a nice little handful of meat, a little bit of stuffing,
take some ham there and I'm just going to chop it up. Trust me, this is the thing
to do. We'll take a few nice little Brussels, some carrots and these are going to be amazing
in this toastie. Now the little curveball that I think works so well is, have a few little bits
of pickle in there. So standard stuff, guys, we've got a few little cornichons, here, silverskin
onions. So just a couple, that's all you need. Chop them up and every now and again you're going
to get a little kick of that, it's delicious. And then you need something of course to bind it and
make it oozy and delicious. So we're going to use some gorgeous Cheddar cheese. Of course at this
time of year you've got loads and loads of cheese in your fridge so feel free to blend the cheeses
but I think of course Cheddar is a really good cheese for melting. It's delicious in flavour
So about 60g for 2 toasties is spot on. So look, mix this up. What I love about this recipe
is whether it's for 2 people, 4, 6, 10, it doesn't matter. This is the easiest thing in the world. A
hot, gooey toastie sandwich. The festive kind of joy doesn't stop. Cranberry sauce for that little kick
of sweetness. I'm just going to do it on one side. I'll take a nice little handful of our mix here
I'm going to place the bread on top. Now what I like to do for a really nice
toastie is lightly butter the outside of the bread. That's going to give you a nice
golden crispy crust. So I've got a brown bread here but it's really soft, perfect for a toastie
So put these lovely little sarnies into a nice large quality nonstick pan on a medium heat. You
don't want it to be too hot. If it gets too golden and crisp too quickly, you won't get that gorgeous
ooze in the middle and that's what we want... Crispiness, ooziness. So medium heat for about
3 minutes on each side. Another little curveball that could just change your life – having
some gorgeous gravy to dip your corner of oozy Christmas toastie in. It's just a thing of joy,
it just really is a thing of joy. So this has had about 3 minutes. Let's have a little look
That's what we want and that as well. If you've got a little spatula, press down. If you're lucky,
a little bit of cheese will kind of squeeze out from the middle and start going down the
side and kind of like melt in, getting golden and crispy on the outside. We love a bit of spillage,
definitely love a bit of spillage on this one. And if you don't get that, just a little bit of cheese
just on top and around. It gives you the most amazing crispy bits and it's just gonna be
the best toastie ever. Let's just have a quick little clear-down and then I'm gonna show you
the quickest little salad that works well with this. It could be apple, it could be pear. Put
it on its side and do little thin slices And then almost line it up like a pack of cards
Try and do thin little slices that way to do nice little matchsticks, OK. Really, really,
simple dressing. A little shake of white or red wine vinegar, that will stop it discolouring,
just like a tablespoon, not even that. Pinch of salt and pepper
And a kiss of olive oil and we'll just toss that up like that. The sweetness and crunch of apple
or pear with that toastie is a thing of joy. Go with any salad leaf you like, but I love peppery
greens like watercress. So get a nice handful of that and just dress it and that is the quickest
little board salad you could ever make. We've got the toastie of all toasties... Look at that
Because everyone likes the little gooey bit, right, they love the gooey bit. So if you just
cut it and like pull it apart, it's not going to happen, right. So if you cut it and then
leave it and just give it a little pat, that's how you get that. Ah... That's the exciting bit
Hot gravy… Don't matter how much you got, a little bit, a lot, just go with the flow
So come on... It's a cold miserable day, you've had Christmas, you've got over the excitement and
then you put this together. The ultimate Christmas toastie. Ah yes! Have a look at this. The nice
little gnarly bits of cheese. Inside here, it's just oozy and cheesy and glorious. Look at that!
Have a dip, get it in your mouth. It's a thing of joy. Hot, cold, crispy, gooey…
Yeah... It's so good. It is so flipping good. Guys,
what are you waiting for? Get in that fridge, have a look at the leftovers,
get yourself a toastie. Nice little bit of salad, bit of gravy, happy days and
happy Christmas. If you want to see more of my festive hints and tips, go to tesco.com/recipes
