Note

Traditionally, Caerphilly cheese is used for its mild, tangy flavor and ability to melt without becoming too oily. If unavailable, a mix of mild cheddar and ricotta can work as a substitute.

Serve with French fried potatoes or creamed potatoes and peas for a classic Welsh meal.

Ensure the fat is hot enough before adding the sausages to prevent them from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.

These are best eaten fresh while hot, as the cheese interior will cool and solidify as they sit.
