Method

Slice a 3cm lid off the top of the loaf. Scoop out most of the bread from the loaf and the lid, leaving a 1cm layer (blitz these into breadcrumbs and use another time).

Mix the mayonnaise, mustard and honey together in a small bowl and season to taste.

Spread the red onion chutney all over the inside of the loaf, then add a layer of Emmental cheese followed by a layer of turkey.
