The best cheese sandwiches are

Stilton, pear & rocket. Just had for my lunch. Yum.

Other ‘gourmet’ cheese sarnies…..

Wensleydale, carrot and apple

Brie and grape

Red Leicester grated and mixed with mayo and purple spring onions

If it really must be cheddar, then it has to be strong vintage stuff, with a fancy tomato or plum relish

Any other cheese snobs?

I like red fox and Branston pickle on cheap white bread

Thunderface · 04/09/2021 12:35

I love strong cheddar with red onion marmalade or tomato relish.
I love cheese but prefer most cheese with crackers, grapes, pickles, relish etc on the side rather than in a sandwich.

The best cheese sandwiches are toasted.

Camembert in crusty dourdough. My ultimate sandwich.

Hobbitch · 04/09/2021 12:42

I meant sourdough Hmm

SilverOtter · 04/09/2021 12:42

With chilli jam😋

MikeWozniaksGloriousTache · 04/09/2021 12:44

Absolutely not gourmet but cheese savoury .. can never find it outside of the north east though.

HalfShrunkMoreToGo · 04/09/2021 12:45

Granary fresh baked loaf, thick slices with real butter. Good sharp mature cheddar and Branston pickle.

I can't eat this or anything that comes close as too fat and need to lose weight so this is currently my dream meal that has me drooling at the thought.

I hid my breadmaker today so temptation is out of sight 😂

Saucery · 04/09/2021 12:46

Brie and chilli jam on open baguettte.
Philadelphia with chopped pepper and rocket.

Dadvdtret · 04/09/2021 12:48

On doorsteps of crusty white bread with real butter and branston pickle.

Babyroobs · 04/09/2021 12:51

M&S Wensleydale with carrot chutney.

Justyouwaitandseeagain · 04/09/2021 12:52

Brie, spinach and cranberry

Justyouwaitandseeagain · 04/09/2021 12:52

Smoked salmon with cream cheese

TheRabbitStoleMyHat · 04/09/2021 12:55

Goodness me no, sorry OP, I can’t stand anything sweet and savoury mixed like cheese and fruit.

Cheese and pickle or cheese and piccalilli. Or a cheese and baked bean toasted sandwich.

MakkaPakkas · 04/09/2021 12:55

Yy to cheese savoury

LemonViolet · 04/09/2021 12:58

Oooohhhhh chilli jam…..fantastic idea! Might suit something creamy like a Lancashire

Toasties are a whole other ballgame - so many different ways! American style grilled cheese (which is really a fried sandwich, right?), croque monsieur, or good old 80s style toastie machine that cuts the slices into triangles with a shell pattern on the crust - difficult to posh up that one though. Kinda have to just embrace the kitsch maybe. Put a sprig of curled parsley on top Grin

Only ever eaten Camembert baked in breadcrumbs or just in the box to dip bread into…..do you basically spread it on bread to sandwichise it?

Prosciutto (or similar)
Provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
Tomato
Red onion
Pesto
Ciabatta bread

Or a French BLT (with Brie)

I make a Roquefort-butter that's nice in lots of sandwiches

But generally if I have a really really nice cheese I don't put it in a sandwich, just crackers maybe

motherstongue · 04/09/2021 12:58

Cream cheese, vintage cheddar and capers in seeded bread. Absolutely brilliant.

dreamingbohemian · 04/09/2021 13:00

What is cheese savoury? (sorry non-Brit here!)

Sarcobaleno · 04/09/2021 13:01

Goats cheese, pickled beetroot and spinach.

Brie, bacon and cranberry sauce

StevieNix · 04/09/2021 13:01

French baguette - with mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, green pesto and rocket 👌
Or goats cheese, caramelised onion chutney and rocket panini

TottieMarchpane · 04/09/2021 13:03

Cheddar, onion and smokey bacon crisps on cheap white bread. My all-time favourite comfort food.

I do love a cheddar and salt n vinegar walker crisp sandwich. You're right, it needs to be cheap white sliced bread though, a white crusty cob is my back up bread option. Just doesn't work as well with whole meal or granary, it feels wrong adding anything marginally 'whole foods'.
