Toasted sandwiches

bread

IN BEING THE OPERATIVE WORD.

tuna and cheese

I like toast but I don't like toasted sandwiches, I think you lose something special when you stick one piece of toast on top of another

toast
butter
mushrooms
fried egg
bacon
ketchup
butter
toast

cheese, and it better be melty.

I am always mocked for ordering what is referred to as a Toasted Bowl Clogger. A toasted sandwich with cheese, ham AND chicken (yes AND) and onion.

But it's sooooooo good.

cheese+mushroom+ketchup+basil

try some cranberry sauce with brie and pancetta nick, perhaps crumble a small amount of goats cheese in there too

gruyere and speck

Ham, cheese, tomato, cracked pepper. Yum.

tuna + sweetcorn, with a bit of mayo mixed in, cheddar grated on top, that's always a winner with a bowl of soup (tomato or veg)

Yo momma.

I don't have a fancy panini maker, just a skillet and a spatula.
tuna-cheddar-onion-fish oil-sriracha

bacon, sharp cheddar, fried egg, roasted anaheim chilies

provolone/cheddar combo or swiss with tuna or turkey with brie

grilled cheese all day every day, man

never really understood the brie and cranberry myself but different strokes different folks i guess.

bit of an oddball suggestion this but I would 'recommend' you try nutella and lemon curd. i say 'recommend' because you WILL fuck your panini press with the resultant goo and bring the hate on ilx.

oh i fucking love brie and berries. kill me now

to answer the question, ANYTHING. except mushrooms

naw, just wrap that shit in tinfoil and you're good to go

Any ideas for sweet toasted sandwiches?

think pie fillings so jam, apple, apple and caramel.

Nutella and strawberry

stewed apple & cinnamon

better on bagels though, can't quite imagine it in a sandwich

haribo sweets?

Mars bars. Seriously. Best toastie ever.

(disclaimer: I live in the West of Scotland)

Doner meat and lard

and sugar.

Vimto Chewits and Saveloy

This thread has made me larf.

I was thinking brioche and Nutella.

banana and peanut butter

or indeed chocolate peanut butter

I like banana, peanut butter and blue cheese sandwiches, f'real.

Nick: if you have panettone that's going slightly stale, you can toast it, drizzle with Nutella and honey, some fresh fruit, and ice cream, and have that as a king of sandwiches

Fuck yeah.

Sadly I have no panettone.

Ramsay did something with strawberries fried in balsamic vinegar with cream & custard on the F Word the other night that looked AMAZING.

nigel slater does a bacon and banana sandwich with mango chutney....actually really fucking tasty.

Slater is the king of this TV cooking shit, easily.

I've got a Slater book and like his writing, but have never really seen him on TV. he is boss, though - sweet potato with chili butter is a staple lunch for me at work now.

Slater's books are amazing...he has about 10 fucking unbelievable curries.

plus barely concealed misanthropy on an even higher level than HFW

Marco Pierre-White's tip: cook bacon in the microwave for a couple of minutes. anyone tried this?

I saw this last night too, and it looked well cooked to me. I am going to try it, although I don't know what rating of oven was being used. (I know he has previously said he only does tomato sauces in the microwave any more, as the results are so good.)

We've got a little plastic tray, kind of like a griddle, for doing bacon in the microwave. It's great, pretty much the only way I cook it now. You can even slice a mushroom or two and cook it on there.

problem with sandwich-makers is that you can't just use bread straight from the freezer like i do when i make toast

meatloaf
swizz cheese
carmelized onions
bbq mayo

My dad insists on bacon being done in the microwave nowadays. It seems to work, but I don't eat bacon so I have no idea.

i really dont kno about that. i like my bacon so so crispy

You can get it crispy in a microwave.

Hang on I'll just go and post myself in the "out of context" thread.

microwave bacon = fucking ace.

not sure about getting it crispy, though. what's the trick?

don't cook it in the microwave

It seems to go crispy if you microwave for long enough? I don't usually eat really crispy bacon on sandwiches tho, maybe I'm misremembering.

i had no idea everyone was so into this bacon in the microwave thing

Saves a bit of time in the morning when everybody's trying to get ready for school/work.

also doesn't set my smoke detector alarm off.

got it, yes, smoke alarms are awful sensitive. but i have to tell you, i had bacon today that was done like the regular way, and i was really really into it.

TS: toasted sandwiches vs tossed salads

salad, you gotta watch out for your hips

you know what? i'd go for salad now. good god, i've changed a bit in the past few years.

but yeh: good salad every time.

What makes for a good salad?

I should start another thread, right?

*nods*

2 Sainsburys Butcher's Choice Cumberland sausages, cooked in the over the night before, and halved lengthways so they cover 1 slice of bread. Smear of sundried tomato paste. Three slices of mature cheddar cheese. Plenty of black pepper. The sandwich toaster in the little workshop / recording room / den thing behind my desk in my office. Fucking awesome.

Portabella mushrooms and brie might be an idea for tomorrow. Tuna and cheese for Thursday.

With cheese (and ham). My mum used to slatter loads of butter on the outsides. Cardiac arrest for sure but also XLLL EXTREMELY tasty.

I also love toast with nutella.

Inside me hides a fattie.

Parma ham, parmesan, lots of herbs (oregano, basil, Italian herb mix, it's all good). Ordinary white bread. Grilled for ages on low heat so it goes all dry.

Honey, banana, cinnamon, granary bread.

(on a Sunday)

^doesn't scan, I'll stick to whisky

mashed banana, strawberry jam.

Caramelized apple, bacon, mild provolone

Figs, goat cheese, proscuitto

(pretty much any combo of fruity-sweet/salty-smoky/creamy
