Note
Glamorgan Sausages are particularly appetising served with fresh green salad and red peppers.
This is an ideal dish for a summer's day picnic as they are easy to handle and transport.
For best results, use a firm melting cheese like Welsh Caerphilly or sharp Cheddar.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to prevent the outside from burning before the inside melts.
These can be made ahead, refrigerated, and fried just before serving for convenience.
