What's your favourite toasted sandwich?
Discussion
Toasted sandwiches. 
One of my favourite unhealthy snack foods, and I'm keen on some new ideas for fillings, so what do people suggest?
My favourite at the moment is simple. Nice granary bread, first slice butter side down in an unheated frying pan. Grated mature Cheddar and Parmesan mixed together, topped with a diced green chilli, then some slices of Speck or other smoked cured ham, and the other slice of bread, butter side up. Putting it onto a middling heat and allowing the pan to warm up gradually lets the cheese melt nicely before the bread burns.

Ham and cheese in a toastie machine.
2 slices of white bread. Cover all 4 sides in margarine(stork) not butter. Place ham and cheese on bread next put top slice of bread on top. Use non metalic instrument to place sandwich in toastie maker. Clamp lid down and wait . Once toasted enjoy.

lountza and halloumi. super yum.
i am a huge fan of the breville though, its a great thing to experiment with leftovers. curry toastie, chinese toastie [rice optional], all good stuff! full english breakfast is a winner, and for pudding dust the outisde of the bread in caster sugar and use chopped mars mar and marshmallow fluff.
sod railcards, natwest should dish out brevilles for student accounts

Have to agree, simple but effective2 slices of white bread. Cover all 4 sides in margarine(stork) not butter. Place ham and cheese on bread next put top slice of bread on top. Use non metalic instrument to place sandwich in toastie maker. Clamp lid down and wait . Once toasted enjoy.
I cannot resist a good 'Welsh Rarebit'.......& no, it has nothing to do with my nationality 
It has to be done properly though, there's nothing worse than stopping at a cafe, asking for W/R just to be served up plain old cheese on toast.
According to mrs Q/S, a REAL W/R is: grated Caerphilly cheese - 1/2 teaspoon grainy mustard - 1 beaten egg - slug of bitter.......mixed well, spread thickly on toast then grilled until brown & bubbling.
On a personal note I tend to prefer it heavy on the mustard

Two slices of toast, side by side. Butter, slice of 'real' ham (thick) then place a pineapple ring on the centre of each. Teaspoon of Branston in the hole in the ring. Grate extra strong cheddar over the top (don't be shy). Place under grill till cheese melts, or starts to toast, according to taste.
Hawaiian toast!

The Vienetta Toastie
Two bits of bread and a good slice of Walls Vienetta.
This is not a recipe but a fond memory of someone who thought he would give this a go, the light came on, he hastily got it out of the toaster expecting luke warm crispy bread and an iced treat inside.
What in fact happened is that he bit into a liquid centre that was almost but not quite hotter than the sun. Cue the greatest face in the history of faces and him hurridly rushing around the living room consuming anything and everything liquid.
