You know I have never really had much luck when it comes to toasted sandwich makers. For some reason, no matter how much butter I put on the external side of my bread, my sandwiches always end up sticking like cement!Here, however, is a recipe for wonderful toasted sandwiches, which my QH created for us recently. The egg wash really makes them lovely and rich no matter what your filling is.
Ingreds: Butter and oil (for the pan - I use a combination as the oil prevents the butter from burning), bread with crusts removed (or leave them on if you wish), fillings eg cheese, ham, tomato, avocado etc, 2 beaten eggs with a little milk added (egg wash) in a dish which will be able to fit the sandwich in it.
Heat pan on low on stove and add approx 2 tblpsn butter and oil. Take one slice of bread and place your fillings of your liking in centre. Place a second piece of bread on top and seal the edges gently with your fingers by simply pressing down on along each edge and then place the sandwich into the egg wash dish, covering both sides of the sandwich with the wash and then place the sandwich gently onto the heated pan. Watch carefully as these cook quite quickly. The egg wash, I think, acts as a great heat conductor as well as sealing the sandwiches well keeping all the yummy filling nice and snug. Flip sandwich over carefully with an egg lift once golden on first side. Allow to cook on second side, remove and enjoy......really really delicious. Thanks QH, you are a fab cook.
