Dan Doherty’s take on the classic American salt beef brunch dish adds the tangy flavour of gherkin, for a recipe that makes regular cheese on toast look boring.

Method
- To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
- Heat the grill to medium. Take the rye bread and divide the salt beef between the two slices, then layer the sliced gherkins on top and finish each one with a slice of cheese.
- Heat an ovenproof, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. When the butter begins to foam, put each slice in the pan and cook it for 1 minute, then put the pan straight under the grill. It’ll take about 4 minutes to be ready, by which time the base will be crisp and the cheese bubbling.
- Serve with a good spoonful of the dressing on the side.
