- Toast the slices of farmhouse loaf or ciabatta bread on one side only.
- Heap the onion and apple mixture onto the untoasted sides.
- Top with the Cheshire cheese and a sprig or two of rosemary or thyme.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Toast under the grill for a few moments until the cheese starts to melt and bubble.
