I opened the packet and bloody hell, they're not joking about the thin thing are they! I wanted to make a toasties with it on my Breville, by the time I lifted the lid up, I could barely see it, just melted cheese everywhere.

I wanted to make SOME toasties with it.

Well they aren't really for toasties. They make a nice sandwich but are clearly not toastie material.

MaxPepsi · 20/01/2016 13:49

I love them, but would never attempt toasties with them.

You need proper bread for that!

Herrerarerra · 20/01/2016 13:49

I tried the Aldi ones, they're tasty but there's nothing to them. I used them in my George Foreman and there was more cheese on the plates than on the actual toastie.

Uptownfuckuup · 20/01/2016 13:50

you need proper bread full stop

Yeah, I should have known better really, I'm a doorstep bread eater usually but am on a diet! Grin

Aren't they supposed to be a dieters bread? I think they only have 100 calories per pair so are an alternative to normal sandwiches for those who want to lose weight.

Queenbean · 20/01/2016 13:53

I think they're quite good, you get a sandwichy taste without the heaviness of more bread. A one slice sandwich seems quite sad somehow.

A toastie that is all cheese and not much bread sounds like heaven on earth! Especially if it's all fallen out and gone crispy on the toastie machine

AlistairSim · 20/01/2016 13:53

They're great for packed lunches, no crusts and just the right size for my children's appetites but for a toastie? Are you mad? You need big, thick slices or your ratios will be all over the place.

Schrodingersmum · 20/01/2016 15:18

We use their gluten free ones, the kids love them as sandwiches, toasties and even mini pizza's but on a weight watchers diet theyre a no go for me as 5pts each

Nataleejah · 20/01/2016 15:48

I microwave them. Not too much cheese. Very nice.

FuckyNell · 20/01/2016 15:54

I prefer the thin seeded bagels. Bloody lovely they are

Floralnomad · 20/01/2016 15:54

We have sandwich thins for lunch sometimes with hot fillings is chicken / fish with cheese / salad/ Mayo etc , so really using them instead of a roll / burger bun - very nice .

rockabella · 20/01/2016 16:11

pop one in the toaster for 1 minute, open it and spread tomato puree, some toppings and then cheese. I add a sprinkle of mixed herbs then bung under the grill for 1 minute! Mini-pizzas, guilt free! I use low fat cheese, red onion, peperoni and its 350cals for one turned into 2 mini pizzas and a side salad :D

heckythump01 · 20/01/2016 16:12

there fab if you top 1 and grill it:) nom nom

Owllady · 20/01/2016 16:14

Someone I know uses them to top pies instead of pastry....Confused

WhirlwindHugs · 20/01/2016 16:16

I'm not sure if they make the burger thins anymore but they were terrible! Got some free to try and they fell apart while we ate Confused

ChristmasCabbage · 20/01/2016 16:23

They're a godsend on a diet. 99 calories per thin. Magic Grin

AppleSetsSail · 20/01/2016 16:25

They are an excellent solution for bread-avoiders.

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 20/01/2016 16:25

I wouldn't class them as dieters bread, but maybe that's because I only have small loaves so they're actually more calories per slice than a Warburton's toastie slice.

They're nice toasted with loads of dairylea on top, but I don't like them for sandwiches

Pythonesque · 20/01/2016 16:27

I agree the gluten-free ones are good but wouldn't attempt toasties with them. (except perhaps in a bag in the toaster). I still toast them but the inside stays soft and it makes a nice change from what I usually have.

Youarentkiddingme · 20/01/2016 16:30

I buy the also ones. They are great for DS for lunch as he's not a sandwich fan and they are crust free.
I eat them because I'd much prefer a thick doorstop slice covered in anchor butter - but I'm on a diet!

Palomb · 20/01/2016 16:31

They are like eating cardboard.

IHaveBrilloHair · 20/01/2016 16:32

They have a funny smell.
