I'm now looking at Panini presses! 🙈🤣
Oh god, I need a toastie maker back in my life. This thread is like pRon
Toastie makers are rubbish, just get a frying pan, lowest heat and put a lid on to melt the cheese better. Job jobbed.
For me a mix of cheddar and gruyere, butter in outside, white bread. I often put ketchup on the side as pickle doesn’t go with hot cheese. Good shout on the soup accompaniment.

This is my thread, and I'm telling you you're not welcome 😉
If you get one of these like wot we has, you can have the triangular pockets of joy or the flat slabs of pleasure, your choice:

(or the checked waffles of delight, but I've only tried that once and it was a bit rubbish, I blame my batter)
Today is last nights koftes and a little feta. Toasties of Turkey unite!

I know there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, but seriously, what a time to be alive...
We use the George Foreman grill for toasted sandwiches in this household. It produces a lean, mean toastie.
Today's contender was tomato puree, cheese, ham and jalapeno.
Chilli jam and goats cheese. We bought a John Lewis grill a few years ago and it's been in regular use ever since. A cheaper version of this one
Bacon and mushrooms for brekkie
Cheese and onion for lunch
Old skool.
(should probably avoid bread for dinner, eh?)
Just had Boison and beans on toast but will easily repackage to make an ace toastie!

Oooooh, laa dee bloody daaa 😉

Argos shares on the climb today.

Get out.
Who was it that suggested cheese, peanut butter and sriracha?
I thought you were bonkers at first but my curiosity got the better of me. You sir are a genius, that's fantastic!
Like a satay cheese sandwich.
I think thats my full fat friday lunch choice!
Lidl have a Breville toastie/pannini grill on soon...

Link doesn't work. For the love of god, who's in charge here? This is serious.
I'll be along on Sunday for that breville!

So it transpires I am incapable of posting photos or links in threads.
That's actually the new version of my current one by the looks. For some reason, Msjimmy hates the thing but if push came to shove, I LOVE toasties.
This thread is making me hungry.
(sic) Propper condiments are made in factories that look like
thisthe one that P7eaven will post later today
Correct. There you go 😉
Chopped banana and mincemeat.
Our kids have discovered the pure joy of toasties. Daughter will often make a 'pizza toastie' for breakfast: white bread, tomato puree, cheese, basil.
I still need to get around to making a toastie clone of the glorious Bacon Naan from Dishoom: naan, bacon, chilli jam, coriander, cream cheese. I reckon that will toastie up really well.

That sounds interesting. Lunch tomorrow is sorted now.
The French got it right off the bat with the Croque Monsieur and Madame.
Croque is absolutely the king and queen of sandwiches, but a wee bit more involved tbh, and not sure it would work in a breville as well!.
Cheese and ham on the same toasty for me is too salty so one or other with palate blistering cherry tomatoes
I think i will try a welshrarebit toastie post Christmas, or can you give a used toastie machine as a present?
I often put ketchup on the side as pickle doesn’t go with hot cheese.
A. You're wrong
B. You're even wronger than that.
Ketchup on hot cheese thats the rankest thing i've heard all year.
Will that Lidl/Breville machine seal the toastie or is it one of those continental jobbies that leave things ooen sided (and thus useless for the cheese/bean combo)?
Open sided cheese/bean combos are entirely possible. Bit messy in the eating, but not prohibitively so.
I'm sorry, a British toastie is a sealed unit. This creep of continentalism is why Brexit happened.

Open sided for more filling. Beans are for kids.
Has anyone tried meatballs? I’m thinking meat ball mozzarella and jalapeño
Filling of creamed sweetcorn (the sweetcorn can sometimes end up hotter than the sun).

I'll think you'll find it was just that kind of small-minded 'taking our toasties back' thinking that was the cause of Brexit. If we were more willing to embrace all forms hot fillings between crisped breadstuffs, we'd be a much better place. There's more than enough room in my heart for the toastie, the panini and the croque monsieur.
Anyway, I tried, the cheese/peanut butter/sriracha. It was nice, but I've got to say, not all that.

May have to re-think my toastie-based cookbook then.

You are so wrong.

Agreed.
Breville cheese and beans toastie is the winner.
I did a photo-finish comparison.
vs a pan-grilled reuben?
If you're remotely Proper British then you already know which one is the winner! Continentalists don’t know good food when they see it. Tried and tested is the only way. Pretentious foods need not apply. Goat cheese? Peanut butter? Shrirachuahaha?
Masterful British food always wins.
Remainers OTOH, please go thisaway, we’ll have fun watching you pretend to enjoy eating them 🤣 :

Erm...green stuff on plate alert. So, so, very, wrong.
Now, rocket, gruyere, bavarian smoked ham, cheddar and chilli jam, on the other hand, INSIDE the toasted pocket of joy...mmmm

Agreed . Beige need only apply.
Something rockets, (green? Urgh) something else foreign, something something
Hold horses! Jam is ok in certain circumstances. Foreign cheeses are wrong and just pretentious. Chilli is foreign and you can’t make jam from it. Jam is made from strawberries, or raspberries or blackcurrant. Apricot is a conserve and is continentalist.
INSIDE the toasted pocket of joy
The toasted pocket is small for a reason. It perfectly allows teaspooning of the baked beans and a slice of British cheese. Two ingredients max. Anything more means micro-loading faffism and will (as you’ve shown) begin introducing continentalistic so-called foodstuffs. Stick to the baked beans and cheese, it’s the best for all the right reasons. Brown sauce is also the right sauce. Ketchup and cheese are every kind of wrong.
You are so wrong.
Sorry should have been clearer.
Ketchup is rank on all things ASWELL as hot cheese.
That reuben looks effing lovely.
