Can I make pies/pasties in a sandwich maker?

The title says it all really!

I have some left over pastry and bits and pieces and wondered if I could use a sandwich maker to make some mini pies, a bit like empanadas?

Has anyone tried this? Any hints or tips?

Should I cook the filling first?

All suggestions welcome!

    I'm not sure the sandwish maker would cook the pastry properly.

    When I have left over pastry I just make pasties by cutting out a circle of pastry and putting the filling on one half of the circle almost to the edge. Fold over the other half of pastry and overlap to form a seal.

    And yes. You definitely need to cook the filling first. ;)
  • Thanks HariboJunkie,

    I might just keep everything in the fridge until tomorrow as I don't want to heat up the oven for just a couple of pasties!

    I'm really loving all the recipes in OS, and I am cooking from scratch a lot more, but always looking for ways to be creative with the left overs other than soup:D

    Cornish pasties don't have carrot in. ;) (Thought I'd say it before we get hoards of outraged Corns on the thread!)

    Those breville pie makers just look like a sandwich maker apart from the holes being pie shaped. I'd be tempted to give it a go.

    I picked one of those Free Recipie booklets up in Sainsburys they other day and they suggested making a fruit toastie in the Sandwich maker

    Bread, Apples, squirt of Lemon juice and a little sugar.

    I suppose it will be like an apple pie, sounds nice but I haven't tried it yet.
