How to make it
4 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Slice the crusty bread
Slice the crusty bread into thick pieces and set aside. Soften the butter for easier spreading.
Cut the Cheddar cheese
Cut the Cheddar cheese into a thick wedge and fold or slice the ham.
Wash the apple and slice it
Wash the apple and slice it into wedges. If using a boiled egg, peel it and cut it in half.
Arrange the bread, cheese, ham, apple, and egg
Arrange the bread, cheese, ham, apple, and egg on a large plate or wooden board. Add the pickled onions and a generous dollop of chutney on the side.
A little kitchen wisdom
Traditional Ploughman's lunch is best served with a cold ale or cider. Feel free to swap the cheddar for Stilton or Red Leicester.
