Favourite fillings for toasted sandwich maker

[SuperGlue]

I usually make ham / cheese / tomato toasties by buttering bread on the outside and then frying on a hot pan till crispy and golden and they are delicious.

However I am drawn to the idea of buying a proper toasted sandwich maker - we used to have one about 10yrs ago but I don't think it made the move to this house. As I recall we used it but really only to make ham / cheese / tomato sandwiches

As a teen I hated ham and cheese and used to have them filled with jam!

There is no point buying one just to make the same old thing I make anyway so can you inspire me with your best combinations please?

Also any recommendations for a decent machine. Our old one did the job but didn't seem to 'seal' the bread very week and there was always a horrible mess to clean up after - greasy crusted melted cheese!

Thanks

Woohoo we've been moved, thanks MNHQ!

OliviaMN is BRILLIANT.

Yay !

I am going to be whizzing round the shops tomorrow inventing toastie fillings now.

Wonder if Frazzles and cheese would be good ?

Wotsits and ???

How do you stop yourself eating several at a time though? .. I dont think I could..

Don't fight it, Laska.

That's the beauty of savoury and sweet fillings.

ham and cheese toasties - but with Reggae Reggae sauce on the inside of the bread. Mmmmmm : )

cream cheese with spring onion sliced in (yes, really!)

I think we might just live on toasties for a week. And I've been so good with no eating too much bread....

Perlwen and red onion toasties are calling my name. And why oh why did I not think of sweet toasties before? This is going to blow DS's little mind

As an aside am I the only one who keeps reading paninis as penis.

Chicken mayo, cheese and tomato
Tuna mayo, cheese, onion
Haggis (microwaved first) and cheese
Black pudding, cheese and beans
Ham, brie and cranberry sauce

My mum always used to mix up an egg with grated cheese and ham (you need a LOT of grated cheese to one egg to make it solid enough so you get many, many delicious toasties) so you end up with a kind of toasty omelette. Frigging gorgeous. Also they puff up loads as they cook so you get big fat toasties rather than disappointing flat ones. I didn't realise anyone made sandwich maker toasties differently until I went to uni! and converted my flatmates Clean up is a right bugger though, I always overfill and get leakage. God I want a toasty now!

Yummy.

My ultimate is cooked fish fingers with cheese and ketchup. Cook the fish fingers in the george foremab 1st take them out and put them in the bread cheese and ketchup then the whole thing back in the george yum.

Mincemeat (As in fruity filling for little pies as Xmas)
Banana and nutella
Grated apple and dulce de leche
Those little tins of beans and sausages with cheese
Grated apple, blue cheese and nuts
Jam and grated apple
Corned beef

I love-

cheese, beans and sausage (cut sausage lengthways to fit)
cheese and onion
but my favourite is meatballs, sometimes with cheese, sometimes just on their own with a little spoonful of their tomato sauce(cut them in half to fit!)

^^obviously if doing sausage/meatball you either need to cook them first or use hot dog sausages/tinned meatballs!!

Three words.
Mars Bar Toastie.
Yum!

Bacon cream cheese Brie and cranberry mmmm

Brie and Cranberry toasties are my favourite. I love them either as toasties, paninis or hot baguette. yum

I made loads of Christmas dinner toasties in the few days after Christmas. Turkey, stuffing, sprouts, mash, peas... It all went in.

Delicious!

I now need to add chiili jam to my shopping list.
Vintage cheddar and chilli jam toastie.
Left over curry toastie.

Cream cheese, cooked chicken and curry powder. Lush

When I was a kid I loved cheese and banana.

Brie & cranberry
Cheese & chutney
Haggis & cheese
Brie & sweet chilli

superglue but what do you put on your baked potato if not cheese and beans?!

11 wks preggo and seriously considering a toastie maker now, if not just for the Nutella and banana toastie! Am definitely going to buy Nutella on the way home! On the subject of Nutella...have you ever spread it on rich tea biscuits? It tastes just like a choc dip!

cream cheese, chorizo and beetroot. mmmmm! only did it as I had those three things in the fridge. but great.

I’m new on here and I’ve just bought a deep filled sandwich maker. I’m willing to try anything. Saw the one with haggis on it…. Being Scottish I want to try it but Haggis in a fried sandwich…not so sure…help!
