Making a toastie with eggy bread should be a goer and tasty too

Spot on, I made some eggy bread the other day but due to a bit of an over production on the eggy mix had some left over so made extra eggy bread and then made cheese ham & pickle eggy bread toasties for next days lunch.

For the 2 minutes it took to devour them I was in heaven 😀

johndoh Does your humble George Formby also clean windows 😉

Its not a bloidy toastie if its made in a forman.

I got one of those Frank Bruno toasters the other day.

Took it back. Two rounds and it was knackered.

You Have Got To Be Shitting Me

why has no one ever told me about this??

Pizza toastie, cheese, pepperoni, ham and peppers

I’ve formed a plan…. i’ll report back soon…

Tinned chicken in white sauce, curry powder, mix.

Should be enough for two toasties and they taste lush.

At the minute, I only have the curry powder, but I might get the other two things on the way back from picking up the new frame on Friday to fuel me whilst I build it up in the living room.

Emsz – welcome to our (old duffer) world, you whippersnapper! 😀

It’s the only pleasure we get other than picking our bunions

I’m thinking mozzarella, spinach, tomato 😀

That’s a pizza, surely?

in Toast!!

amazing I know

Toast pizzas were a student staple when I was a, um, student.

what about falafel?

Isn’t that a bit of a “caviar and chips” dichotomy?

I’m not an old duffer!

I strongly object!

Emsz Falafel mozerella and pesto is a winner.

Isn’t that a bit of a “caviar and chips” dichotomy?

❓

very thinly sliced apples, raisins, golden syrup. cinnamon

a veggy samosa mix

Oh FFS the waitrose crowd have turned up and started to ruin the good old toasted sandwich with middle class pretensions.

Mushy peas, makes for a nuclear hot toastie

My fave primary school packed lunch sarnie was (cold, obviously) cheese and pickled onion toasties. I think that’s all I ate for a year.

It takes 8 slices of thick bread and masses of filling.

Boast post.

Emsz – lose the spinach. You’re not allowed owt green. Apart from mushy peas, obviously.

Has anyone tried a chips, peas and gravy toastie?

Just made one using the steak griddle. Yum.

Almost used the iron to do the other side, but didn’t need to in the end.

Sausage and red onion marmalade

Has anyone tried hotdog sausages and cheese? I think I’m going too.

in Argos? Not a chance.

My tightarse tendencies nearly made me go for the no-brand £5 one,

I fell for this as a stocking filler for one of the kids who wanted one – worst waste of a fiver ever.

the pan size is smaller than a standard loaf slice so it cuts about an inch/inch and a half of bread from the top of the slice. the resultant toastie is in fact, 3/4 of a toastie which is just wrong.

I’ve got this one, the Rolls Royce of toastie makers

…and have the opposite problem. I’ve yet to find a shop bought loaf with slices big enough to fill the recess.

I do love me a cheese and ham toastie though. Classic/standard Saturday lunch for me.

Has anyone tried hotdog sausages and cheese? I think I’m going too.

Yes! That was one of my favourites. I used to fry onions and put them in when I was feeling fancy. Serve with american squeezy mustard.

This is also bringing back memories of making an “all day breakfast” patty. Where you put a slice of bread in the bottom and pre-shape, chop up frankfurters, then mix with beans (with most of the liquid strained off) and a beaten egg and sit it on top, grate on cheese, salt and pepper and close the toasty maker with no top slice.

Sausage and red onion marmalade

Sausage and normal marmalade, even better/more in keeping with the thread.

Fish fingers and beans.

Fish fingers and beans.

Needs chips in there too, but bordering on genius.

Some great ideas on here guys, keep ’em coming.

What loaf for best toastie? Or what size loaf tin to make perfect sized toastie bread?

Personally I’d go with cheap, white sliced with the crusts off. Warburtons was always the right size for ours.

What you want, if you’re making it yourself, is a pullman tin the right size. ideally a lidded version. Something like this: http://bakerybits.co.uk/pullman-bread-pan-15x15cm-slices-2-25kg.html

depending on the dimensions of your toasty maker.

Milk loaf with honey and/or a little spray malt and you’re golden.

lemonysam, you are a gent!

Bear in mind, that’s a 40cm long loaf tin. Unless you’re binners you might want to find something that makes shorter loaves.

What loaf for best toastie?

As Lemonysam said, Surely when it comes to all things gorgeous and bread related – toasties, chip butties, fish finger butties – there is only one answer…..

One step up on the door-step scale from Warburtons Toastie 😀

Hm… I’m not sure that thicker is better. With the so-thin-it’s-transparent slices they can crisp right up so it’s like a toasty taco. With a thcker slice there’s more chewing involved.

Hotdog sausages sliced in half, sliced onion and burger relish.

Nearly as good as curry on a pizza.

I would’ve thought that thick warburtons stuff is a bit too thick for the innards to get properly melted?

It is a large tin, but with the modern invention of freezing I could preserve a sliced loaf 😛 ready for toasty days.

Added bonus is I can select my own slice thickness too. Winner all round really.
