Cheese, beans, ham, tomato, leftover lasagne: whatever your favourite filling, a toasted sandwich is somehow so much more than its constituent parts. And having a toastie maker on hand to produce this golden, crisp, steaming deliciousness certainly makes things neater and more efficient than negotiating an unsealed, melting sandwich in a pan.
