A sandwich toaster is among the under-rated appliances in the kitchen because consumers are not aware of what wonders they can create using an appliance like that. This is one kitchen tool that can help you appeal to individuals of all ages with your cooking skills. The dishes that you can do with a sandwich maker are simple and does not require any gourmet skills. All you need know is how to chop, slice, stir fry and some other very basic cooking skills.
There are some very simple and interesting recipes that you can prepare in your sandwich toaster. You can add your creative touch to each and personalise it as per your taste.
Omelettes
Mix all the ingredients you would like to add to your omelette i.e. eggs, spices, milk, onions, tomatoes and coriander. You can have optional fillings of mushrooms or any other pre-cooked finely chopped vegetables. Mix them all together and carefully pour the mix in your preheated sandwich maker. A fluffy omelette cooked evenly on both sides will be ready in minutes. You can customise your omelette with the stuffing of your choice.
Chocolate Brownie Triangles
Prep your sandwich maker with cooking spray and turn it on. While it is heating, mix a softened stick of butter with a cup of white sugar. Add 2 eggs and a tsp of vanilla extract. Prepare a mix of 1/3 cup cocoa powder, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp baking powder. Add these together to the butter mixture and mix till you get a smooth batter. Pour enough batter in the grid to fill it without overflowing. Cook for 6 minutes with an in-between check at 4 minutes. Once cooled, drizzle with the sauce of your choice.
Quesadillas
If you have a sandwich griller, you can prepare quesadillas with a twist. Prepare your tortillas and place the desired stuffing in between the two layers and let it cook evenly from both sides. Crispy quesadilla will be ready in no time without any spillage. You can add vegetables and cooked meat of your choice along with cheese salsa and other sauces you desire.
French Toast
Prepare your mix of eggs, sugar, milk and any other flavour that you wish to have in your French toast. Dip the bread in this mix and place on the grid. Close the sandwich maker and have the French toast ready without even needing to flip. It’s just so simple.
Cheesy Garlic Bread
Prepare the garlic butter and smear it on both sides of the bread of your choice. Top it with cheese and pop it into the sandwich grill and enjoy delicious cheesy garlic bread.
These recipes, which would normally require an oven or a griddle, can be made so easily with the versatile sandwich toaster. So, remove it from the ranks of an underdog used for preparing only sandwiches and give it the respect it deserves. Your creativity will know no bounds when you start using this piece of kitchen equipment right.
