We can't get enough of the festive toasted sandwich - and will happily eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner until the cranberry relish runs out!

The toastie is popular for several reasons, largely due to the combination of flavours and its seasonal appeal:

Perfect Flavour Balance: bree is a soft, mild, and creamy cheese, while cranberry sauce is sweet, tart, and fruity. Together, they create a perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and savoury flavours, making the toastie both comforting and satisfying.

Seasonal Appeal: This sandwich is often associated with the Christmas - Cranberry sauce is a staple of festive meals, so the toastie is a nostalgic and festive treat.

Texture Contrast: The soft, melting cheese pairs well with the slightly chunky cranberry sauce and the crispy toasted bread, creating a satisfying mix of textures that enhance the eating experience.

Simplicity and Gourmet Feel: While easy to make, the combination of Bree and cranberry feels indulgent and sophisticated. It's a simple yet elevated dish, which appeals to people looking for a quick, but gourmet-style meal. 

Its popularity comes from this mix of indulgence, festive association, and the delicious contrast of flavours and textures... and we're here for it!
