gourmet toastie + dtm sparkling: the perfect pairing
good food, great wine, and zero fuss. that’s what we’re about. and frankly, who can be bothered going to the shops every day. sometimes you just want something simple but totally next level — and that’s where this gourmet toastie comes in. paired with our light, fruity sparkling red, it’s the perfect balance of rich, crispy, cheesy goodness with a fruity spritzy, glass of red.
what you'll need:
- 2 slices of sourdough bread (or your favourite crusty bread)
- a thiiiick slice of cheddar (or whatever cheese you’re into)
- a couple of slices prosciutto or serrano ham
- tablespoon of fig jam
- handful of rocket
- dijon mustard (for a little kick)
- butter (for that crispy finish)
how to make it:
- pour pop open a bottle of dtm sparkling and pour yourself a glass
- prep the bread spread a thin layer of mustard on each slice, then add a bit of fig jam on one. it’s sweet, savoury, and just works
- layer it up top the jam with cheese, then prosciutto, and finish with a few leaves of fresh rocket. place the second slice of bread on top, buttered on the outside
- grill grill the sandwich on each side until it’s golden and crispy. easy does it
why it works:
our sparkling is fresh and fruity with a bit of spice. it cuts through the richness of the cheese and prosciutto while the fig jam adds just the right amount of sweetness. whilst the toastie is super rich, the bubbles refresh your palate, making it easy to go back for more.
