Making toasties is easy and fun, they can be as creative or as simple as you like and
make great snacks whether eaten at home or on the go.
Using basic ingredients delicious sweet or savoury meals can be made in minutes,
perfect for any time of the day. Here are some classic toasted sandwich recipes that you
may wish to try.
Breads
For best results, use a supermarket own-label, medium, white sliced bread. For variety,
why not try using wholemeal bread, Danish-style bread, seeded breads, sour dough and
fruit breads.
Cheeses
Classic cheeses that melt easily like Cheddar, Gruyere and Emmental make excellent
toasties. We’ve included some different cheeses in our recipes but why not experiment
and get creative with your own favourite cheeses!

Even if you are already familiar with using a sandwich toaster, it’s worth following the
guidelines below.
1. Plug your sandwich toaster in to the mains supply socket and switch the socket on
if required. The green power light will come on and your sandwich toaster will start
heating up.
2. When your sandwich toaster is fully heated the amber
ready-to-cook light will come on. This light will come on
and go out during cooking.
3. Spread the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter or a
spread suitable for cooking. Don’t use a low fat spread
or one which has a high water content.
4. Place the two lower slices of bread onto the bottom
plate ‘buttered’ side down. Face the crusts of the bread
to the left and right.
• Tuna Melt (tuna, onion, mayonnaise
and cheese)
• Cheese and tomato
• Cheese, beans and ham
• Turkey, stufng and cranberry
• Ham, Brie, mushrooms and rocket
• Steak and mushrooms
• BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato)
• Bacon and cheese
• Chicken, red pepper and Brie
• Sweet chilli chicken
• Sausage and scrambled eggs
• Camembert and cranberry
• Chocolate and banana
• Banana and plum
• Toffee and apple
5. Add the lling. The deeper cooking plates allow you to use more of your favourite
ingredients but always allow a 2cm gap around the lling as shown below. This will
allow your sandwich toaster to form a good seal and prevent the lling from leaking
out.
For best results, the maximum amount of cheese, when used as a single ingredient,
should not exceed 60g. If you add other ingredients, reduce the amount of cheese to
compensate for them.
6. Place the remaining bread on top with the buttered side on the outside (this will give
your toastie a lovely golden colour during cooking).
7. Close and latch the lid and allow to cook for approx 4-5 minutes until golden and
cooked. Leave the sandwich in the toaster for more or less time according to taste.
8. Release the latch and open the lid. Watch out for escaping steam—use a tea towel
or wear oven gloves. Remove the cooked sandwich with a non-metallic spatula.
Don’t use a metal blade as this can damage the non-stick surface of the plates.
9. Once cooked, take care when eating as llings, especially fruit or tomato, can be
very hot.
Importantpoints:
• Always allow a 2cm gap around the lling.
• Never overll your toastie.
• Too much lling can leak out and also make the latch difcult to close.
NOTE: Using high % water based spreads or sauces may have impact on bread
structure or surface during toasting cycle.
