Top Tip for Making the Best Toasted Sandwiches
Make sure you have one of the best sandwich toasters
There is very little point in deigning to make the best toasted sandwich recipes if you do not have a sandwich toaster which is up to the job. The right tools are necessary to perform any task with distinction and making toasted sandwiches is no exception. If you already have a quality toasted sandwich maker, all good and well. If not, you may wish to consider investing in one of the quality toasted sandwich makers featured below on Amazon.com. The investment may very well prove more than worthwhile in the long term by heightening the quality of the toasted sandwiches you are able to produce.
The Basic Guide to Making Toasted Sandwiches
How to make sure you get it right from the start
There is nothing complicated in the making of toasted sandwiches but - as with anything else - there are always aspects of debate and controversy which can creep in to the equation. One such debate is whether it is necessary to use real butter when making toasted sandwiches or whether a butter substitute such as margarine is acceptable. I have to be honest and say that although I have tried using butter substitutes when making toasted sandwiches, I have found that the quality is very much compromised in such instances. Yes, of course it is down to personal preference - but my recommendation would always be to use real butter.
Safety Tips for Making Toasted Sandwiches
A factor it is always important to consider in the kitchen
Whenever we are performing any task in the kitchen, we should always be conscious of the relevant safety factors. Making toasted sandwiches involves using an appliance which will become very hot immediately prior to, during and even after the cooking process. It is important, therefore, to be careful not to touch the hot plates on the sandwich maker and to keep small children out of the road during these times.
NB Note also that the filling in toasted sandwiches is likely to remain very hot for a time after cooking. This is particularly the case where such as cheese has been used and will have melted. It is important to guard against burning your mouth in this way and allow these sandwiches sufficient time to cool.
Cheese, Sage and Onion Toasted Sandwich Recipe
Quick, easy - and delicious!
Sage and onion is of course the basis of a common form of turkey stuffing but both go extremely well with cheese. This is therefore the toasted sandwich recipe which I probably prepare most often, both for its taste and its simplicity.
Filling Ingredients
1oz grated cheddar (or other hard) cheese
1/4 small onion (very finely chopped)
Generous pinch of dried sage
Freshly ground black pepper
Method
Mix the four ingredients thoroughly together in a bowl with a small spoon. Sit the first slice of bread butter side down in the sandwich maker and very carefully spoon the mixture on top, Leaving a narrow gap around the edges. Place the second side of bread on top, butter side up, and close the lid of the sandwich toaster. Most toasted sandwich makers will indicate by a light coming on that the toasted sandwich is ready but around three to four minutes is the average timescale.
Bacon and Tomato Toasted Sandwich Recipe
Bacon and Tomato Toasted Sandwich Recipe
Perfect for breakfast or as a simple lunch
This bacon and tomato toasted sandwich recipe is not only absolutely delicious but also makes for a very attractive presentation if you perhaps want to serve it to a lunch guest. Please note very carefully, however, that it is essential the bacon be cooked before it is used in the toasted sandwich.
Ingredients
2 slices of buttered bread
2 bacon rashers
4 slices of tomato
1 tsp freshly chopped flat leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
Method
The first step is to grill the bacon and then roughly chop it as shown. The toasted sandwich maker should only at that point be put on to heat. The ingredients should then be assembled in the order of the first slice of bread, the bacon, the pepper, the tomato slices, the parsley and the second slice of bread. Note that no salt should be needed in this toasted sandwich recipe as the bacon should provide all the seasoning required in that respect.

Egg and Parsley Toasted Sandwich Recipe
A classic combination
The first step towards perfect results with an egg toasted sandwich recipe is to ensure that the egg is always removed from the refrigerator at least two hours prior to attempting to cook with it. This is not just a guideline but an essential requirement for cooking with eggs, especially when they are to be such as fried, poached or boiled.
Ingredients
2 slices of buttered bread
1 large egg
1 tsp freshly chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
When the egg has been allowed to reach room temperature, break it carefully in to a small bowl or cup. Pour the egg from this cup on to the first slice of bread in the toasted sandwich maker, season with salt and pepper and then sprinkle on the parsley before adding the second slice of bread.
