Cha-Ching!

Don’t you love cleaning out your home and finding things which you never knew existed or just simply forgot about?   I sometimes think my closet is a gold mine because every now and then, there seems to be a top or dress which completely slipped my mind- not a bad ‘problem’ to have 🙂 .  Unfortunately that almost never happens in the kitchen department because I tend to know where the ‘goods’ are kept.  So you can imagine my delight when I came across this:

A sandwich toaster (clearly my grandmother is better stocked than I thought ;))

To be honest, it really never crossed my mind to own one.  A waffle machine, maybe, but never a sandwich toaster.   I either relied on meals out at restaurants or fry pans to satisfy any such cravings.  Now that I’ve dusted off found this bad boy, there’s no looking back.  Don’t even try to tell me you aren’t a fan of sandwiches, we all are :)!   So from one carb lover to another, here’s a tip: invest in a sandwich toaster to:

1. create the ULTIMATE sandwich
2. shake up your breakfast (or lunch/dinner) options while still keeping it healthy
3. eat your way out of a hangover (you’ll agree when you see my filling combo 😉 )
4. want a hot meal super fast or without the fuss of cooking
5. satisfy your toastie craving without the added expense or grease of a restaurant

Crisp and crunchy on the outside, gooey and warm on the inside I don’t think there is anything more satisfying than a perfectly toasted fried egg & cheddar sandwich:

I think it’s safe to say every kitchen under my roof will reserve a spot for a sandwich toaster. Now it’s time for the fun part: experimenting with other filling options 🙂

What’s your favorite filling for a toastie?
