Daz's Tomato Cheese Melt
15 min
This is my favourite starter of all time I've only ever found it in one restaurant and couldn't find it on the net so I tried to replicate as much as possible A simple yet tasty dipping tomato sauce with a blob of melted mozzerella in the centre and some toasted ciabatta bread on the side to dip. Variations. Why not use your favourite tomato sauce instead of the one below. You could mix up the type of tosted bread used to suit your own personal taste.
