Bacon and Banana (Peanut Butter for the full Elvis) I am not keen on Peanut Butter myself I do eat it on occasions though, but Bacon and Banana on it's own

OP must be Dutch, we call them that here. Well, Tosti anyway. Love those things btw. I always do cheese, salami and a few slices of tomato.
 
Also sounds like some of you guys are missing out on the chance to put tortillas in these things too and make either quesadillas or fajita pockets
 
In the end, our relationship was just like a sandwich toaster. You know, you just forget you've got one. And it just sits there on the top of the cupboard collecting a layer of greasy fudge. And even if you do see it you just assume it's broken, you think if it's working I'd be using it all the time, but you don't and it just sits there. Then one day, you get an overwhelming desire for toasted sandwiches, you know? And you get it down and it works, and you can't believe it, you know? And then you make every kind of toasted sandwich there is, you have toasted sandwich parties. You make Marmite and cheese, chocolate and... pilchards...banana and...acorns. And then as quickly as the desire comes, it just goes. And then you put the toasted sandwich maker away. And, you know what?

You don't miss it.

Came here for precisely this.
 
Some combinations to try:

Tuna salad and cheddar...just do a classic tuna melt

Prosciutto, Green Apple, and Brie ....slice the apple thin, but not too thin, you still want a crisp to it.

Turkey, Swiss, and Cranberry (on a grain bread)

Provolone and anything on Pumpernickel (be careful, the bread can burn because of the molasses)
 
American here. I've had one of those machines for years. Perfect for bologna and cheese sandwiches. Also good if you put a little dollop of apple or cherry pie filling in each segment and make little fruit pies. Not panini because it seals the edges.
 
I always just called that a sandwich maker when I was growing up. I fucking loved that thing, especially how it like seals the meat and cheese inside of the bread pocket. I like those sandwiches more than normal grilled cheese sandwiches.
 
Anyone who doesn't know the pleasures of a proper cheese toastie with worcestershire sauce innit is a sad person indeed.
 
Aw I really want a toastie now but all I've got is a panini press so no sealy edges :(

Red pesto, chorizo and mozzarella is a good combo. My mum used to always make egg toasties as well.

Do you guys butter the inside or outside of the bread?
 
Roast chicken, cheese, pineapple (optional), mayo, salt and pepper.

Make sure the outside of the bread is covered in real butter (not margarine).

You will not find a better toastie, period.
 
I still have mine from when I was a kid.

Try this one: toast with jam and either nutella or peanut butter.

Let it cool extra long, jam gets hot.

Enjoy. Also maybe throw in banana
 
I like to make a cheese, and chilli toastie. Possibly the best combination, the hot spice and the creamy cheese just play off each other so well.

Correct.

The word "bollocks" means bad/poor. The phrase "the bollocks" means incredible, fascinating, wondrous. See examples below.

"My toastie was bollocks."

= I'm afraid my toastie was quite poor.

"My toastie was the bollocks."

= I've never tasted anything better in my entire life. *subject to hyperbole

It is usually 'The Dogs Bollocks' for meaning great/the best.

Cheese and corned beef toasties are the dogs bollocks.

I was sitting at my desk this morning, curious what the menu at the canteen would be today. I opened the relevant spreadsheet on SharePoint only to once again discover that the menu was bollocks. I reminisced of simpler times, when they did easier, cheaper food. Nothing fancy. Like a good cheese and ham toastie. Those were the absolute bollocks.

All that thinking about toasties made my throat fill with my bodies entire water content - almost drooling. Love a good toastie.

Come the end of the working day I was dying for a toastie so I raced to the store and bought a delicious ham and cheese toastie making machine. Now that I've got it, I'm wondering what other toasties I could make? I see that Costa does a breakfast toastie with sausage and such. Are those any good? I've heard of people using baked beans in a toastie. Is that a quest worth embarking on?

What toasties do you make?

Sounds like an uppercut or fatality to me.

Grilled or toasted ham and cheese are quite nice though.

Id have one a few times a month. Been without an oven for over four years now though


And it isn't nice to act like anericans should know what other countries call thier good. No need for people to get unfriendly or arrogant over such a simple thing.

No one is special over toastie or toasted
 
Best toastie is last night spag bol with some cheese thrown in. Below that is ham, cheese and tomato toastie or baked beans/can spaghetti.

Also, you gotta butter the outside or else it doesn't get that crispy texture. Fuck now I want one.
 
Top 3 combos

1. Cheese , Ham
2. Cheese , paprika , spring onion
3. Cheese , tomato

A tip. Put some butter on the top sandwich on the outside. So the butter face the toaster iron when you close it. Its makes a magic crust

I would add peanut butter sandwich. Something about eating a toasted sandwich with gooey pb is so good compared to a room temp one.
