Easy toasted sandwiches

trisha

If you like toasties and don't want to buy a sandwich maker thingy, (which can be a pain to clean afterwards).

Make the sandwiches, then butter both outsides, I like to use Bertolli (Olivio)
Heat a dry frying pan up, then pop them in and do both sides, delicous.

doesn't mess your frying pan either, no messy cleaning afterwards :-)

enjoy with a nice glass of wine.

I was wondering about making stripy toasted s.wiches in elec health grill, obviously it won't seal the edge...could be messy.
reckon it's worth a try?
thanks

it should just be like using a panini maker. If you butter the outside of the bread then it should be ok as the bread won't stick to the grill.

I tried them in the health grill, the cheese ran out and the sandwich was stuck to the top plate, it did mess it up. I wouldn't advise it.

Even easier - wrap made sandwich in tinfoil and cook in the oven. We have oven chips in with them anyway so no extra fuel costs. Throw away the foil - (i.e. put it in the recycling bag, before anyone shouts ) - so no washing up either!

No need to butter the outsides of the bread with this method - just make as for a normal sarnie.

I discovered this 'frying method' when I was camping last month.

I had some day old cheese butties (on those crusty rolls from a deli) that didn't look very appetising and had gone a bit hard.... so I stuck them in the frying pan and gave them a couple of minutes on either side. They were blummin lovely!

I always use my health grill, you have to pile the cheese in the middle of the bread so it doesn't drip out.

Hi,
I read on another thread somewhere about using the health grill, my youngest daughter loves cheese n beans toasties but I hated cleaning the sandwich maker. Now I do them all the time, (only a few beans and not too much cheese around they edge) and they are lovely! I do butter the bread on the outside though because DD likes the taste but there is no mess.
I sold the sandwich maker at a car boot too.
