Located under and around London Bridge station, the market stalls offer quality produce, all beautifully laid out. You can find great breads, cheeses, meat, fish, spices, French/ Italian/Spanish specialities... anything you need really. It was nice to see a stall selling fish from Sussex, caught with their own boat that night.
Back to the cheese toastie. I don't know why I get excited about toasted cheese, but I do. This humble cheese toastie has believe it or not had rave reviews from the likes of the Daily Telegraph and Gourmet Magazine.
The stall is run by Kappacasein http://www.kappacasein.com/ and they also do raclette. The toastie is made with Montgomery cheddar and five types of chopped onion, piled onto Poilane bread and toasted. The result is a very fine crispy cheese toastie, I can see why people queue up from 11 am for these. The simplicity of the ingredients makes the dish, and the nice thing is that with a bit of practice I'm sure the toastie could be re-created at home...
I love cheese toasties and that one sounds bloody gorgeous...Ive never been to Borough Market and I only live an hour away, I really should make the effort one day!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing- all you could want from a cheese toastie and more! you should go when you can, I see you live in Brighton so it's not too far. I lived in Brighton for 2 years before moving to London- fab place, miss it really.
