Chef's Tips
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with a hard-boiled egg or extra cheese.
Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Stilton or Red Leicester.
Add a side salad for a more complete meal.
Homemade chutney elevates this dish significantly. Consider making your own with seasonal fruits.
