Rich, savory, and satisfyingly rustic, it’s the perfect grab-and-go meal with pub-style charm.

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Lightly butter the bread slices or spread with a little mayonnaise if desired.

Origin of Ploughman’s Sandwich

The Ploughman’s sandwich is derived from the classic British Ploughman’s lunch, a rustic meal historically enjoyed by farmworkers. This meal typically included cheese, bread, pickles, and chutney. Over time, these ingredients were combined into a sandwich, creating a portable and satisfying meal.

What I Love About This Recipe

I love how simple yet packed with flavor this sandwich is. The sharpness of the cheese, the crunch of fresh vegetables, and the sweetness of chutney create an unbeatable combination. It’s also incredibly versatile—you can adjust the fillings based on what’s available.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of crusty whole-grain or sourdough bread

  • 2 oz (50g) sharp cheddar cheese, sliced

  • 1 tbsp Branston pickle or apple chutney

  • 4-5 slices of cucumber

  • 2 slices of tomato

  • 2-3 leaves of crisp lettuce (romaine or butter lettuce)

  • 1 tsp whole grain mustard (optional)

  • 1 tbsp butter (softened, for spreading)

Directions

  • Spread butter on both slices of bread to prevent sogginess.
  • If using mustard, spread it on one side for an extra kick.
  • Spread the chutney or Branston pickle on one slice of bread.
  • Add the cheese slices evenly over the chutney.
  • Layer cucumber, tomato, and lettuce on top of the cheese.
  • Place the second slice of bread on top, press gently, and slice in half.
  • Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for a packed lunch.

Notes

  • Cheese Options: If cheddar isn’t available, Red Leicester or Wensleydale make great substitutes.
  • Bread Choice: Whole-grain, sourdough, or a baguette work best for a sturdy sandwich.
