Cod Bake with Yorkshire Cheddar Crumble Crust

SERVES 4

Ingredients

• 80g Yorkshire Cheddar (grated)
• 4 x 160g pieces cod – skin and bones removed (ask your fishmonger to do this)
• 3 chunky slices white bread (remove and discard crusts)
• 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
• 1 heaped teaspoon freshly chopped chives
• 20g Yorkshire Butter (melted)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4.
2. Blend the white bread to create breadcrumbs and mix with the wholegrain mustard, freshly chopped chives and grated Yorkshire Cheddar.
3. Melt the Yorkshire Butter in a pan. Using a pastry brush, coat the fresh cod.
4. Tip the contents of the blended crumb mixture into a bowl and place the upturned cod into the mixture.
5. Make sure there is an ample coating of the crumb mixture on each piece of cod. Place the cod pieces on a tray, lined with greaseproof paper or rubber mat, so that the cod comes
   off easily once cooked.
6. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cod), until the crust looks golden.
7. Serve with some freshly wilted spinach and lemon.
