A classic cold plate — no cooking required.
Equipment: None - just a plate
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 60 g mature cheddar
- 2 slices of good-quality ham
- 1 boiled egg, halved
- ½ apple, sliced
- Handful of salad leaves
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- Black pepper
Optional extras
- 1 tbsp pickle or a few pickled onions
Method
- Arrange the cheddar, ham and boiled egg on a plate.
- Add the salad leaves, tomatoes and apple.
- Add a little pickle, if using, season with pepper, and serve. Taste before adding salt — the ham already seasons the dish.
Swaps and tips
Choose thick-cut, higher-meat ham rather than thin processed slices. Any hard cheese works in place of cheddar.
