    Sandwich Maker Cheese Toasties

    It's National Sandwich week so what better way to celebrate than by sharing some delicious cheese toastie recipes!

    It’s national sandwich week which of course means sharing some sandwich recipes with you! Not just a standard sandwich, however, not even just one, but three recipes! Three toasties filled with melted cheeses and flavoursome ingredients to make each one a little more special. And since they don’t contain any meat or fish, they’re all suitable for vegetarians as well. Now, one thing needs to be pointed out: if you’re looking for a very thick sort of toastie, you’d be better off pan-frying it. However, that also means that it would potentially be very messy and less practical. Making your toasties in a proper toaster means that they’re slightly easier to eat and you have less of a mess. And less of a mess means less tidying up and more time enjoying the sunshine. Convinced? Then here are the three recipes.
