Ingredients

• 4 very fresh free-range eggs, fridge cold
• 2 tbsp good quality store-bought tomato relish or fig jam
• 4 slices of thick-cut brioche loaf
• 40 g butter, softened
• 100 g of cheese (e.g. a mix of cheddar, blue cheese and brie), coarsely grated and crumbled
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a medium pot of water to the boil and a pinch of salt. Add the eggs and cook for 5 minutes.
2.  Butter each piece of bread and turn over. Spread two pieces of the bread with the relish and scatter cheese on the other sides. Form two sandwiches and press down.
3.  Heat a large pan over a medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches and toast for 3-4 minutes on each side.
4.  Cut out 2 egg holders from the egg carton and present on a small board. Arrange eggs in holders and cut the tops off. Slice the cheese and relish toasties into batons and serve with egg and extra relish on the side.
