Sprinkle the diced tomatoes with black pepper and fold into the rarebit mix.

Egg mix

Whisk the eggs and milk together and season with salt and pepper.

Making the sandwiches

Start by spreading one side of the bread with the rarebit mix. This will be used on the inside of the sandwich.
Spread a slice of bread with the rarebit, add a slice of turkey then wensleydale followed by a second slice of bread on top to make the sandwich.
Dip the sandwich into the egg mix and pan fry until golden on either side then finish in oven for 5 minutes @ 180°.

Chef tips

• These sandwiches can be made 24 hours ahead of time and kept in the fridge before dipping into the egg mixture and frying.
• Rarebit flavour can be more traditional by substituting the milk for beer.
• Experiment with different meat and cheese fillings.
