The warming winter recipes every Scot should know

Tartan Toast]


Scots mum Susan Bracken’s incredible creation is the perfect comfort food. Best of all, you can change up the cheeses to create different colours and flavours and even add cold meat too.

What you’ll need (per person):




A couple of slices of Scottish cheddar cheese

A couple of slices of Red Leicester

Two slices of bread

How to make it:

1. Toast the bread first, then as you are waiting cut your slices of cheese up into small squares that will fit in a tartan pattern on your toast (roughly 2.5cm/1 inch by 2.5cm/1 inch).

2. Place your squares neatly on your toast in the tartan pattern with each type of cheese alternating and place under the grill until the cheese melts.

3. Other variants for this fun creation could include switching out one of the cheeses for sliced meat or even creating a sweeter version using different coloured chocolate spreads.
