Never heard of toaster bags! Just showed the pic to my g/f and she goes “ oh yeah, used to use those a lot!”
I know what’s on the shopping list this weekend, I love a good toasted sarnie, and doing them under the grill never seems to work as well.
Mmmmm, yum. 😀
I bet that Breville is crap for waffles. Almost all cheap british waffle machines are far too low power for proper crispiness. We had a USA-made machine which was far better, though eventually it broke. Think you need something like 1200-1500W to work properly.
Here is Diana Henry’s recipe for a Mumbai Toastie.
I make it in a frying pan, and I suspect that it might not be as good made in a toastie maker (better with unsealed edges?). If anyone with a toastie maker cares to try it, please provide feedback.
You’re all kind of on the right track with your fillings but the best needs-must-with-an-empty-fridge combo that I’ve stumbled across is crumbled black pudding, goat’s cheese and thinly sliced spring onion.
I was at a do over the weekend with a free bar where some guy’s job all night was just to stand there making cheese & chorizo toasties for everyone. It was awesome.
