One – named Harry – said: “No way enough cheese in there for my daughter.”
Nick turned his nose up at it and added: “Sorry. Melted cheese…”

And Lynn Brownlie gushed: “Big favourite in our house.”
Nigella uses a tortilla wrap to make hers, rather than bread.
She adds ham, jalapeños, and spring onions, folds it over, and cooks it in a pan for two minutes.

Nigella said: “The ultimate cheese toastie.
“Just thinking of these makes me salivate.
“These toasted sandwiches have the perfect more-ish mixture between thin crisp crust and gooey yielding middle.
“What’s more, they’re pretty well instant to make.”
About her grating cheese tip, Nigella added: “Grate your cheese with a very fine grater.
“What you would use for zesting.
“It looks voluminous and is actually much less than you realise and probably as much as you really should have.”
Last month, Nigella admitted she loves eating chicken nuggets.
Last July, Nigella was mocked for saying she liked tucking into a simple bowl of Twiglets.
In 2020, she was ridiculed for calling a ‘microwave’ a ‘mee-cro-wah-vay’.
Nigella is known for her unusual food habits.
She has previously put caramel on potatoes and marmite on spaghetti.
Her recipe takes two days to make because the chicken needs marinating in the buttermilk.
