CloseMethod
-
1.For the roast tomato soup dip, preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Place tomato on a roasting tray with the garlic and oil. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Roast for 1 hour, or until caramelised but not burnt (remove garlic after 30 minutes to prevent burning).
-
2.Heat broth in a saucepan over high heat. Add roasted tomato and garlic and any pan juices. Simmer over medium-high heat for 15 minutes. Using a handheld stick blender, whiz until smooth.
-
3.Spread mustard on one side of each slice of sourdough, spreading all the way to the edges.
-
4.Layer cheeses evenly over the mustard on 2 bread slices. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Top with remaining bread slices, mustard-side down. Butter the outsides of the bread all the way to the edges. Toast in a sandwich press (or cook in a hot frypan on both sides) until golden and cheese is melted (finish in the oven until the cheese is melted, if needed).

5.Serve toasties with gherkins and hot tomato soup dip, sprinkled with chilli flakes, if using, on the side.
