Cuban Toasties
The Cuban toastie is one of these classic American sandwiches that everyone should have tried once. As we're now almost half way through Toastuary and things have been a little heavy on the seafood it's probably about time we serenaded you with a little bit of good...
Ploughmans Toasties
A ploughmans lunch is basically cheese, ham and pickle, but there are loads of other optional extras. Messing with a classic seems like a pretty dangerous prospect, but many of these combinations are still a fairly common combination, if google is to be believed. It...
Cockle Toasties
Cockles are not a favourite of mine. Since the Kraken, legendary triple-decker fish-finger sandwich which premièred last year, we have come to feel they might need a solo outing. They were a pretty hard sell in the Kraken, undeniably improving the flavour, but making...
Avocado Toasties
Avocado is currently doing the rounds as a super-food, but we should hold that against it. Super-food status makes it reasonably easy to get hold of. We haven't used it before either, so an avocado toastie was practically unavoidable. The Veggie Avocado Toastie Sliced...
The Mediterranean Club Toastie
The Mediterranean Club toastie should, of course, be called the Club Med. This glorious idea that was first suggested at a tasting almost a year ago, and we knew it had to happen. Credit for the name goes to E: she was there on the night and made the excellent...
The Cheesecake Toastie
I can't remember who first suggested a cheesecake toastie, but it was one of those great, illuminating moments when you hear a word properly for the first time. CHEESE cake. Of course. How could we have missed this for so long? So Barny made a batch of veg soup to at...
The Halloumi Toastie
Halloumi is one of my favourite cheeses: I had a bit of a binge on it a few years ago. This involved microwaving a slab and then eating it. Squeaky and delicious. It does have a ridiculously high melting point, so we were dubious about how well it would work as a...
The Garlic Mushroom Toastie
In both the garlic mushroom toastie recipes below mushrooms are sliced and fried with a little oil, a huge dollop of garlic purée (1tsp/4 mushrooms), salt and pepper. If we ever do run out of animals and have to live off bugs and greens, this is where I'm going first....
The Pepperoni Toastie
The pepperoni toastie is one of those ones we both thought we already had, but a thorough search of the archives suggests the only outing we've ever had with it is inside the Great Balls of Fire, our spicy triple decker toastie. So we figured it deserved a proper...
The Fig Toastie
The fig toastie is not exactly a classic, but it does always pop up on cheese boards. It goes well with cheese, and after a suggestion from my brother while we were staying there we thought it deserved a try. Plus vegetarian toasties that don't feel like they are...
