Best toasted sandwich maker sandwiches.

Swampy

Just got a toasted sandwich maker for work. Its amazing how excited I am about this €12 piece of engineering. I'm ready to take sandwiches to a whole new level but lack the inspiration to do so.

I'm stuck with ham & cheese and the special. Any more ideas AH?

BigAl81

Ballymaloe relish is your new best friend!

Dancor

Mustard for the ham!

Merkin

Smoked ham and Gruyere

/Close thread

kneemos

An egg is an old favourite.

Slunk

Them processed cheese slices melt into a nice goo. Be careful though, they've been known to burn the mouth off you.

White pudding is also another good one. Nice and greasy

whiskeyman

if you've left over bolognese sauce, lob this into a toastie.
Tuna, mayo and cheese.
Brie, ham, cranberry sauce, lettuce.
Roast Beef and brie.
Chicken and cheese.
Chicken tikka.

K.C

Baked bean sandwich, handy and quick breakfast.

That's the one I made the other day,beans and sausage.

phasers

Chicken, cheese and coleslaw is my go-to toasted sandwich

Oranage2

Cheese Ham and tomato with a squirt of Mayo, also butter the outside of the bread.

Jam is nice too but just way too dangerous, eat it too soon and you're in 3rd degree burn territory.

herisson

Chicken, bacon, onion, cheese, taco sauce then after its done I put cold tomatoes with black pepper on it.

Bookmarked for future recipe ideas!

For a sec, I thought you were suggesting he throws ALL of those listed into one toastie

Mint Sauce

This, plus mozzarella. Coat a little garlic butter on the outside for exrta heavely goodness.

I got one of these a present about 10 years ago. Which at the time was pretty lame but I appreciate it as I get older and it still works and makes the yummiest of yummy things.

Haven't got past the "toasted special" myself mind you. But I make panninis on the george Forman and buffalo mozzarella or Brie, with chicken or ham, and pesto and tomato is the dog's dangly bits.

I miss bread.

Merkin

I've been asked by a few people now if I would like lettuce in my toastie. Why oh why would I want heated, slimy lettuce in a toasty? :rolleyes:

Fiolina

Nutella

tomaussie

Can't believe nobody has said it.

Crunchy peanut butter and thinly sliced (or mashed) banana.

Winner.

Leftover curry and strong cheddar. Mmmm

yep, it's this.
It's why you tend to see signs for it in the more 'old man' pubs around the country.
Sometime you get a pint with it too!

Yeah I got one of them before, I was sooooo disappointed, no matter how long I left it on the bread didn't brown in certain parts so it would end up a soggy mess.

D-FENS

Tuna, sweetcorn, small bit of mayo, red cheddar, red onion, green pesto, sun dried tomatoes
Sounds like one from that ponce Rachel Allen, but it’s f*ckin savage

Serve with 3 litres of milk

For special occasions, lightly sprinkle with truffle shavings

Finally tried the frying pan method of doing toasted sandwiches that I saw on this site. Will never have a toasty any other way........ Going to make one now, delish...

NOOOOOooooo. I'll report back later on its effectiveness.

Ham, Cheese, Tomato & Onion.

As long as it's toasted in a Foreman Grill, it's bound to be tasty.

That doesn't sound very special
No foie gras or caviar or anything?

dmc17

Cajun chicken, chilli mayonnaise, chopped chilli, chopped pepper, red onion, cheese

Toaster bags are a waste of time,the filling doesn't even warm up.

Personally, I find buttering the bread after you take the toasted sandwich out to be nicer.[/can or worms]

I find that if I raise the front so that it's level, I can do a lovely fried egg and cheese sambo

Find some toaster bags better than others, but the ones that heat the fillings don't last very long

Beware young Swampy, for what all these cheese loving sammich munchers here are not telling you is that when you use one of these new fangled machines that seals the cheese into the middle of the sandwich, it emerges hotter than the fires of Mordor itself and will leave you "tawting lite thit for a leith an ower atterwards".

Pumpkinseeds

Smoked salmon and brie
Ham and brie
Tuna mayo

Oranage2

Anyone that can put an egg on these deserve a culinary badge.

Yamanoto

Push the boat out & go where others fear to tread.

The lasagndwich

Mint Sauce

I assume the egg would already be cooked. The do you go for fried, scrambled, or boiled?

smileyj1987

Nutella and a banana is pretty nice .

Chet T16

Mashed banana and cheese.

One for the sandwich toaster only, not the George.

2smiggy

ham, cheese , tomato, onion , beans , chili sauce :pac::D

edit : also one not for the george !!

Kintarō Hattori

Suddenly my lunch of Waldorf salad doesn't seem so appealing. Feckers.

Greenmachine

Way more inspiring ideas than I have ever tried in the sandwich maker.
Normally ham and cheese for me.
or if I am feeling brave will add some tomatoes, salt and pepper.

GHOST MGG

Safety should be thought about when your filling your toasties with various forms of semi liquid fillings..
you dont want to bite into a toastie with molten bolognese squirtng onto your lips as i have done in the past.
it bloody well BURNNNNSSSSSSS...and plastic surgery on your mouth is kinda expensive:-p

No need to cook it just pour it on the bread,done it many times.

For anyone off the bread I use my toastie maker as an omlette maker in the office, I have a deep dish toastie maker like the one below handy for work! Bit on the pricey side but such toasted goodness!

http://www.electricshopping.ie/waring-wosm2u-black-deep-fill-sandwich-maker.html

Also on the toastie make a spread of tomato puree and a sprinkle of cheese on bread can be like a mini pizza! yum!

whiskeyman

leftover stew if also a good one.
It's kinda like an Irish Cornish pasty.
