[#9639148]

A very different vibe to the job post I’ve just posted...

Mrs Rascal had this idea of doing toasties (in Percy Pig) for tonight’s tea.
She made a pile that had various fillings including basil, mozarella, red onion, vine tomatoes, prosciutto ham and salami. Jesus Christ they were good...had three triangles but could easily have horsed into that amount again. So much joy for so little effort - all hail the (not so) humble toasties!! 😆

Pre cooked bacon, cheese and beans,
Stewed apple, toasties don’t have to be savoury..

3 halves?! Not trying hard enough! There was a thread on this a while back which caused me to buy a toasty machine. Sausage and ketchup is lush.

I know it’s the 500th anniversary of the reformation but extending it to toasties is a bit much. Think of the Roman Catholics 😆

Classic cheese and pickle. Not something I'd normally eat, but I get a craving every now and again

Corned beef cheese onion

Is the right answer. Especially with a splash of Worcester sauce in there

Also cheese and pepperoni.

Mmmmmmmmmm..... I bloody love toasties! 😀

My toastie maker died recently. I bought a new one the following day. Can't live without one! Cheese, chorizo and onion is one of my favourites.

I love a toastie but toastie machines have become very small. Are you supposed to remove the crusts first? Someone please invent a big single sandwich toaster maker.

No.1 Café Inners for cheese and caramelized onion chutney toasty.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it 😀

I messed up and replaced my broken breville triangle toasty maker with a std flat plate one that I thought would be more versatile and could do paninis etc. It is versatile but I miss those pockets of molten cheese you get when the triangle types fuse the bread together along the seam.

cheddar cheese and ham with onion and tomato is great. I used to divide a dairy lea triangle between each side as well for a special treat. try it.

my nan used to make me burger and onion toasties when I was a kid. just a std birds eye burger (pre cooked perhaps) with onions in it as well. Lovely with brown sauce.

Also I was telling my wife last night about the garage at Bonvilston on the A48 between Culverhouse Cross and Cowbridge. We used to sell xmas trees up the road and the garage was a top spot as they did pre cooked toasties of all flavours just piled up on the shelf in a paper bag if I remember. They were great and 30 secs in the microwave and bobs your uncle. Saw Tom Jones there once as well, can't remember if he bought a toasty though...

Mmm, toasties, Mrs F is on a late tomorrow so that's tea sorted!

As for size, we get perfectly acceptable results from toasting in the George Foreman, just remember to press down hard you don't get a sealed edge!

Oh, ham and cheese ftw!

Quail egg and truffle toastie for the win, maybe a little gold leaf to taste.

Favourite snack these days is a toastie with thick cut home made bread, nice mature cheese, worcester sauce, bacon or ham, some chopped shallots all wrapped in foil and popped in the oven for 12 minutes. It's a delight and cooks so nicely that way.

I have the flat plate variation and burko describes my frustration well. I think it's time to invest in the triangles.

Cheese and beans ftw

Was always my sailing club winter series lunch of choice. Cheese and ham or beans toastie and a portion of chips.

Panini = overpriced and never quite as good toastie.

theres a downside to all this

that pile of congealed egg, cheese, bean juice, & chorizo fat that collects underneath & behind the toastie machine

(we used to have toastie making competitions on particularly heavy weed & hiphop nights at uni, the next day could be grim)

Beaten to it earlier in the thread ..but corned beef,cheese & onion is as near to perfection as you can get ..with maybe a little mayonnaise on the side of the plate .
Lightly butter the bread to face the outside which will give it the perfect crunch .
Our toastie machine is nearly antique and only does one at a time ..but I wouldn't dream of replacing it for another ..

Back in the days of working in the student bar / café, my filling of choice was ham, cheese, marmite and pineapple. Awesome.

Pineapple? Marmite was bad enough, but pineapple?!!!!! 😯

I think you need to sit and have a think about what it is you've just said. Thats a crime against toasties...

Butter on the OUTside!
Cheese & onion,smeared in ketchup. Always reminds me of my Nana's kitchen and slicing my finger chopping the onion. 🙂

Splash of guiness and a dollop of mustard all mixed in with grated cheddar.

Yep Senor j
Butter the first slice lightly and place it onto the toaster butter side down ..place filling onto this slice .
Butter second slice and place on top of the other ..butter side up.
Just a light coating ..but the toastie comes out golden with a lovely crunch to it ..give it a try ..then tell me it wasn't the best ever 😀

Mmmmm butter, marmite and baked beans toastie: student food of the gods. Eaten whilst filling is the same temperature as basaltic magma.

Haggis, onion and a sweet(ish) chutney.
Chroizo, tomato & cheddar.
Black pudding with anything and a poached egg on top.

I prefer the flat plate toastie makers, much more versatile. Also like that you can use it to cook some items (onion, bacon, chorizo etc.) before loading it onto the bread.

For the Breville types, butter definitely on the outside.

Cheese, ham and tomato toasties are my post ride meal of choice. You cant beat it when you come in out the cold, washed down with a pint of strong coffee.

I'm wary of getting a toastie maker. Think I might eat little else. This is just enough of a pain in the arse to do and clean up that it reduces my intake to "moderate".

Here we have cheese and ham with a bit of wholegrain mustard mayonnaise on hovis granary.
