Steps
Steps
- 1Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
- 2Lay each slab of sirene on a double sheet of foil big enough to close into a parcel.
- 3Top with the tomato slices and pepper rings, dot with the butter and sprinkle with the savory and paprika.
- 4Fold the foil over and crimp the edges tightly so no steam escapes — the sealed parcel softens the cheese without drying it.
- 5Set the parcels on a baking tray and bake for 15–18 minutes.
- 6Open the parcels carefully at the table, scatter with the parsley and eat straight from the foil.
