... I am eating a cheese toastie that I made in the frying pan and I can't believe it took me so long to do this. I learnt this on MN and I can't remember who the poster was but thank you. Thankyou
yum

For those asking about double baked potato, I bake the potatoes as normal, cut them in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl. Mash it a bit then stir in some grated cheese (you can add whatever, I sometimes chop and fry some bacon and stir that in as well). Spoon the potato/cheese/bacon mix back into the skins, sprinkle with a bit more grated cheese and put back in the oven or under the grill until cheese on top is melted.

I grew up in the states so always did in pan, buttered the bread first. Mayo sounds interesting - I may give this a go!

goddammit! I'm at Saturday morning swimming lessons and am now desperate for a cheese toastie.

We have egg fried sandwiches. Usually have family round on Sunday, so Monday there might be a couple of sandwiches left over to be soaked in beaten egg and fried.

Best is paté. Good for Christmas leftovers.

Baked potatoes- pretty much the same pp. cook in oven, scoop out middle and mix with cheese, finely chopped spring onion and a bit of whole grain mustard. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top. Return to oven until the skins are crispy and the inside is a goey loveliness!

I discovered there a couple of years ago now and whilst they are superior for average sandwich filings they are no good if you want to add beans/spaghetti hoops etc. You need the old triangle type for that

In a sandwich toaster. And not with butter on the outside.

@EmmaH2022 you don't put butter on the outside of your toastie machine toasties? No wonder you found them lacking!

Inspired by this thread I have just made myself one. Every day's a school day: total game changer!

well now it's double baked potatoes for me. I'm living on the memories of that toasted cheese sandwich at the moment

OH.

MY.

GOD.

Thank you, Thank you 😊, Thank you 😁

Absolutely delicious.

One dc has tuna sweetcorn mayo in his double bake potatoes as he doesn't like cheese.
He also likes that.

Just made a grilled cheese and scoffed it.
I had to melt the butter in pan and put the sandwich on.
Tasty but feel a bit ill now. Tastes so much better than from a toastie maker

Yes with chilli jam in 😍

@Balula

If you think that's magical, try putting one in the air fryer 👌🏻👌🏻

How long for and do I need to oil it or something ??

Why is everything better with cheese? Fish, boring, add cheese….amazing!
Potato? Boring, add cheese….awesomness!
Chips? Meh, add cheese……mind blown!!

Butter on the inside, Mayo on the outside 🤤

Why is everything better with cheese?
I don't think it is - can't understand why a burger needs cheese unless it is a measly tasteless burger that needs cheddar to add salt.
Cheese surely swamps the flavour of fish.
Chips ? no way

Just done this thanks for the tip 😄
