Chopped Cheese
Cherie Metcalfe
Messy, cheesy, and absolutely loaded. Crispy-edged mince, melted cheese, and Smash Sesh all packed into a toasted tiger loaf for a proper, no-holding-back sandwich.

Ingredients
- 1–2 tiger loaves (or baguettes)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 250g mince
- 1 tbsp Blow My Coals
- 2 slices plastic cheese
- 1–2 tbsp Smash Sesh
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- ¼ white onion, finely diced
Directions
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
- Slice the loaf in half lengthways, without cutting all the way through, so it opens like a book. Place it in the pan, cut side down, and toast until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, press the mince into a thin, even layer. Cook for a few minutes without moving it so it can crisp up and turn a deep brown, cooking off most of the moisture.
- Sprinkle over the Blow My Coals, then flip the mince and cook through.
- When the mince is nearly done, place the cheese slices on top. Use a metal spatula to chop and mix the cheese into the mince until melted and combined.
- Spread Smash Sesh over the toasted bread, then pile on the mince mixture. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onion, and another drizzle of Smash Sesh.
- Serve warm with a side of hot fries and plenty of napkins on hand.
