PUFF PASTRY TOASTED SANDWICHES IN YOUR SANDWICH MAKER!



Puff Pastry Toasted Sandwiches in Your Sandwich Maker! image

My Zaar friend Kooka suggested making a toasted sandwich without the toast ! I got curious, played around with her idea and et Voila! she told me to post the recipe. Ok, healthy.. not really... yummy... sure is! Puff pastry here in the Netherlands is a pest to use in regular large pies becuase it comes in a box of 10 small individual squares. think jig-saw pieces then you want to make a large pie, and it usually takes me less time to make and roll my own... but my small ready made squares are PERFECT for this recipe.. if you are lucky enough to be able to buy ready made puff pastry in one big piece you will need to cut it up to fit. COMFORT FOOD... the fillings are as endless as peoples' personal taste.. but things that cook quick, yes? I used three Knackworstjes but the Zaar database doesn't recognise those so Smokies (mini knackworstjes) are the closest description I can get. In Honour of Kooka's idea I dedicate this to ZWT REGION: Australia.

Time 20m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 sheet puff pastry (ready made)
50 g grated cheese (1.5 oz)
25 g butter (3/4 oz)
5 smokies
spring onion (finely chopped)
chives (finely chopped)
1 egg (beaten)
tomatoes
ham
mashed potatoes
onion (minced)
salami

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and spread on the toasted sandwich maker inside top and bottom cooking plates.
  • Cut thawed pastry to the same size that the bread would usually be and place one piece on the bottom of the sandwich maker top with grated cheese and extra fillings of your choice. Top with another piece of pastry.
  • Repeat with the other side of the toasted sandwich maker to fill up the other side.
  • Close the sandwich maker to seal the pastry together and enclose the filling.
  • Cook until pastry is golden brown and cooked (about 10 minutes).
  • Trim off any uncooked pastry (I had a little bit but it was only a thin sliver).

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Thicker slices of bread, such as sourdough or multigrain, hold up better in a toasted sandwich than thin, flimsy slices.
  • Spread your butter or margarine all the way to the edges: This will help create a golden brown, crispy crust.
  • Don't skimp on the fillings: Use generous amounts of cheese, meat, vegetables, and condiments. This will make your sandwich more flavorful and satisfying.
  • Cook your sandwich over medium heat: This will help prevent the bread from burning while allowing the cheese to melt and the fillings to warm through.
  • Press down on the sandwich with a spatula: This will help the cheese melt more evenly and prevent the sandwich from falling apart.
  • Toast the sandwich until it is golden brown and crispy: This will give your sandwich a delicious crunch and help hold it together.
  • Serve your sandwich immediately: Toasted sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Making a toasted sandwich without a toastie maker is easy and only requires a few simple steps. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or snack. So next time you're craving a toasted sandwich, don't let the lack of a toastie maker stop you. Give one of these methods a try and enjoy a delicious toasted sandwich in no time.
