Instructions

Prep the Toastie Filling
1

a) Halve the ciabatta.

b) Grate the cheese.

c) Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

d) In a medium bowl, combine the cheese with the gochujang paste, three quarters of the chives and the sugar (see pantry for amount)

Pan-Fry the Gilgeori
2

a) Evenly divide the spicy cheese mixture over the base of each ciabatta. Sandwich shut with the ciabatta lids and firmly press the cheese mixture inside.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the toasties, pressing down with a spatula or heavy-bottomed pan.

c) Cook, pressing occasionally, until the bread is golden and toasted and the cheese has melted, 2-4 mins per side.

Make the Dip and Serve
3

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) In a small serving bowl, combine the garlic, soured cream and the remaining chives. Season with salt and pepper.

c) Once cooked, halve the toasties diagonally, then pop them onto your serving plates.

d) Divide the rocket between your plates and serve the toasties with the garlic-chive sauce alongside for dipping.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Some found the cheese too strong; consider using a milder cheddar for a more balanced taste.
  • Ease of prep: Melting the cheese evenly can be tricky; try grilling the sandwiches open before closing to eat.
  • Suggestions: Add more gochujang for bolder flavour, and use half a garlic clove to avoid overpowering the dish.
  • Portions: Consider adding extra ingredients like chestnut mushrooms to make a more substantial meal.
