FRIED TOASTIES

vegetarian & really easy to make

For those of you who don’t have access to a sandwich toaster, a decent non-stick frying pan is all you need to make crispy, golden sandwiches.

 

Serves 1

  • knob of butter
  • 2 slices of bread
  • 60g (2 oz) grated cheese
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • seasoning

Method 

  1. Butter the bread and make up a sandwich with the butter on the outside.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan. Carefully place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes, pressing down gently with a fish slice until golden brown underneath. Carefully, turn and cook other side.

TOASTY FILLINGS

Any sort of cheese that melts can make a great toasty filling. Try melting with any of the following:

  • Wholegrain mustard
  • Wafer thin ham
  • Red onion
  • Spring onions
  • Chives
  • Piccalilli
  • Warm baked beans or spaghetti hoops
  • Chopped garlic and a couple of torn basil leaves
  • Olive paste
  • Mayonnaise
  • Hot salsa (see our recipe) 
  • Scrambled eggs and a little horseradish sauce
  • Roasted sweet potato and aubergine salad (link)
  • Diced avocado
  • Tomato and mayonnaise
  • Spanish tortilla (see our recipe)
  • Macaroni cheese (see our recipe)
  • Fried bacon and maple syrup.
