Ham, cheese, onion, a bit of lettuce, brown sauce and some crisps of your choosing.

A meal for a true man!

Sounds delicious up until the crisps. Mind explaining why you chose them?

I'm not him but I have recently had a real passion for crisp sandwiches. It's like I'm a teenager all over again. They rock.

In a toastie? Really? I'm not taking the piss, I just haven't tried it. I imagine the crisps and lettuce would go kind of horrible though.

I think >>3391 meant a packet of crisps as a side snack, not in the sandwich ... at least I hope he did. Just bacon and brown sauce for me.

>>3390

Leftover chilli or bolognase is good in a toastie.

Also if you crack a raw egg into your bread (push it into the depressions a bit first) you get a kind of fried egg sandwich affair.

NEVER PUT TOMATO IN, IT BECOMES HOTTER THEN THE SUN

Nice.

As for all you bacon botherers, exactly how do you pre-prepare the bacon before loading it into the Breville? Do you partially cook it, fully cook it, or what?

>>3397
OP here. I fully cooked mine, maybe just a bit underdone. Tasted fine to me. I cut it up into small pieces so it would be easier to eat with the the runny melted cheese.

This is sound advice that participants will ignore at their peril. Also, baked beans - they can become hallucinogenically hot.

I'd like to try a pizza-toastie.

Tomato puree
Mixed herbs
Mozzarella
Salami
Bacon

I have had a thought that a wilted spinach and ricotta toastie could be good, especially if garlic butter was used on the bread.

I'm wondering if a bubble and squeak toastie would work.. but I think it really needs the crispyness of the frying pan upon it.

>>3402
Ricotta in a toastie would work very well - reminds me of the cheesecakes I eat for breakfast in Malta.

I always like to think of it as the italian version of a pasty.

Tomato and cheese every time, I find most other combinations too rich. The tomato does get very hot, but that's hardly an insurmountable problem.

Never put lettuce in. It goes all soggy, it's inedible. If you must, add it after cooking.

No one makes a good toastie machine any more (especially if you like a decent filling or to add things like tomato,sausage, bacon,etc. I am without toasties now and heart broken.

I bet you can find a proper old one on ebay for a pittance.

You'd want to give it a thorough sterilisation though, in case the previous owner had a predilection for white sliced and mini Mars bar toasties. This is sort of an admission of guilt.

Finally, a subject that I am an EXPERT in...

Try the following;

Baked beans, straight out of the can, it's surprisingly fantastic.
A ham, cheese and pickle toasted sandwich.
Dip both slices of bread in egg, cut up a couple of sausages and chuck them in, don't forget brown sauce.
Noodles, pre-cooked of course.
Last night's spaghetti bolognese.
A large amount of bacon, with brown sauce of course.
Pre-cooked savoury rice.

Also as a sweet option put half a squashed mars bar in each sandwich, eat it with cold vanilla ice cream, hands down the best combination of sweet foods I have ever tried.
