Method
Place 3 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard in the bowl of a small food processor.
Process until combined, then very slowly drizzle in 1 cup of olive oil.
Add lemon juice to taste, as the mixture thickens. Season with salt and more lemon juice to taste.
Stir through 1 teaspoon good quality smoked paprika. Transfer to a bowl, cover and keep in the fridge.
Preheat the oven until hot – 220°C.
Line a shallow baking tray with baking paper.
Place 3 cups ripe cherry tomatoes on the tray in a single layer.
Add 2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed and pour enough extra virgin olive oil to pool under the tomatoes.
Season with flaky salt and place in the oven to roast for 20 minutes until the skins split and the tomatoes release some of their juices.
Remove from the oven, discard garlic and leave to cool before storing in an airtight jar in the fridge.
Lay bread slices out on a bench.
Spread mayonnaise over each slice.
Working with 6 slices of bread, place cheese slice on first.
Add slices of cold lamb, then slices of gherkin, followed by the red onion, a few roasted cherry tomatoes and finally the green leaves.
Top each with remaining bread slices and cut in half using a sharp bread knife.
