Toasted Sandwiches .... and I mean Proper Toasted Sandwiches!

Andy From Sligo

Is there anywhere (Cafe or otherwise) that know how to make proper toasted sandwiches? - I mean say if I say "Can I have a cheese toasted sandwich please" - I get "do you want white white or brown bread?" (well first of all I am thinking in my head - No, brown bread toasted sandwich is just plain wrong!) - so then white it is "sit down over there I will bring it over" .

When it finally comes its 2 bits of white bread toasted with a bit of melted cheese in it that collapses as you are eating it leaving all the filling falling out of it!- or melted cheese sticking to the 'greaseproof' paper or paper bag - sorry lads that is not a Toasted Sandwich .

A Toasted sandwich is what you get when you buy a Sandwich Toaster from TESCO for around 7 quid and you put your 2 bits of buttered bread into the Sandwich Toaster along with the filling and then close the lid and a few minutes later you take the toasted sandwich out of the Sandwich and its 'pinched' all the way round thus encapsulating the filling .. its lovely ... OH God I fancy a toasted sandwich now!

So anyone know if actually any cafe in Ireland can make a 'proper' toasted sandwich like that? - I mean am I using the wrong terminology maybe? - I have tried so far "Can I have a cheese cheese and tomato sauce toasted sandwich" and I have also tried "can I have a cheese toastie please" both have got me the same results. - is it called something else in Ireland? , is that where I am going wrong?

Too many gadgets.

I see in Aldi you can buy omelette makers, egg cookers, rice steamers.

Don't people own cookers or pans any more?

Oh, and toastie makers are great for burning the roof of your mouth with hot melted cheese. Don't tell me that never happens to you!

I mean a picture of your own made toast not a picture from the Internet. Come on man.

A picture for you....

I'm not seeing any pictures.

Pictures would be great.

Toasted in a dry frying pan with a small plate on top. Cheese tomatoe and scallion.

I'm not the OP, but they have inspired me.

Two new toasties I'm going to try is the ploughman's and breakfast toastie.

But I'm in a quandary. Ploughman's - additional gherkin?

Breakfast would be egg (cheers for the pro tip), superquinn sausies and liberal smearing of white pudding.

I don't adhere to your nonsense a toastie needs to be sealed rule. All it does is leaves less room for filling.

Could you see the filling pre bite?

A solid working class sandwich.

My uncle died a few months back. Bachelor farmer living out the back end of no where. Had a 70's era Breville in the press and we made cheese toasties after a feed of drink. Must say, they were outstanding once you allowed them to cool down a bit.

Oh! I'm sitting on the fence on this one. I'm happy dipping or pre added.

That what's so fantastic about toasties. The possibilities!

[Deleted User]

Adding mustard is better done beforehand so that it’s sealed in.

precisely - you should not be able to see even a slither of what's inside before you bite into it

Thats only your modern yuppie form of toastie in your fancy little machine.

What is wrong with you people! Where are the mods!? I thought off topic comments weren't allowed!

This is about toasties! If you can see the filling before you bite it's not a bleedin toastie! GET WITH THE PROGRAMME PEOPLE!

Not a patch on a Reuben especially if you swap out the Russian sauce for a proper spicy one.

BTW the OPs sandwich is not a "proper" toastie at all just an anomaly from the 90s

Back on track. good. Nothing wrong with that.

Thought I accidently clicked on "how to make a pop tart thread".

I don't eat cheese, so I'm not one for the traditional toasties. Used to love some ham between two slices of toasted brown bread, the saltiness and the butteriness combo was great.

banana and sugar toasties might have their place with primary school children ... but come on this is the adults speaking now!

I appreciate you getting into the proper spirt of the thread, completely encapsulated and triangle shaped toasties, BUT bananas are the devils fruit!

I won't report your post this time as you'd be perma site banned. You've been warned. feckin banana and sugar toasties. Mad world some of ye live in.

Hallaz

School years were full of toasted sandwiches with sliced banana with a sprinkle of sugar in them. The triangle shapes complimented the filling. Adding too much sugar did not, bloody caramelized the whole thing and put me off them for years. Ah cheap lunch memories..

No bloody way. That's a crêpe rather than a sangwitch. Try again with the ingredients to a savoury galette, then we'll talk.

Wrong thread. This is about toasties and not about rubbish pretend toasties.

Brioche bun, pork belly, gouda cheese and garlic aioli.
