Ingredients
16 MSC certified fish fingers
8 slices of white bread
butter for spreading
¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
2 Tbsp (30 ml) chopped chives
150 g grated mozzarella
150 g grated cheddar
salt and freshly ground pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven or air fryer to 200 ºC. Lay frozen fish fingers onto a baking tray or into the air fryer basket. Cook for approximately 15 minutes until golden and crunchy.
- Remove fish fingers from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Turn the oven down to 50 ºC (this will be to keep the sandwiches warm).
- Lay 8 slices of bread out and butter four of the slices – these will be the bottoms.
- Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the remaining four sides and sprinkle with chopped chives.
- Add a layer of mozzarella to the 4 buttered slices and then add baked fish fingers (4 on each). Top with the cheddar cheese and season.
- Top the sandwiches with the second slice of bread and butter the tops.
- Set a large frying pan over medium heat. Add a knob of butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Carefully place a sandwich, unbuttered side down, into the pan (you can do two at a time in the pan if you have space). Cook the sandwiches slowly to allow the bread to crisp up and the cheese to melt on the inside.
- Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and crisp up the other side; once cooked, place into the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the other two sandwiches. When all four are ready, slice and serve.
