Piri Piri toasted sandwich

There will be a lot of sandwiches appearing here over time because when all else fails you can go back to sandwiches! I am not a huge fan of what I call 'designer sandwiches' but I do like lots of flavour and more often than not a hint of chilli. This one is a typical Joey sandwich and the relish I use is quite hot but can be substitued with something like a red pepper relish, it still has the flavour but not so much heat.

Toasted Ham, cheese and piri piri relish:

2 slices of bread
butter (optional)
Sliced ham
Cheddar cheese
Piri piri relish
Black pepper and or chilli flakes
Mayonnaise (to serve)

Butter both slices of bread. Taking one slice put ham on first followed by the relish and finally the cheese. Grind black pepper and or chilli flakes on top of cheese.
Important part: place this under the grill open to allow the cheese to melt slightly before placing the second slice of bread on top - There is nothing worse than getting a toasted sandwich with cold cheese in the middle!
Toast the sandwich on both sides and serve with a generous spoonful of mayonnaise.
Simple but satisfying!
