What's your favourite filling/bread to use?

I'm going to pull it out for winter!

Thanks!

My BIL puts short or puff pastry onto it, fills with pasta sauce, cheese, olives, ham (anything really) and rolls it up and toasts it! Comes out like a flat closed over pizza! Yummo

Wow Girolama that sounds like the go, will have to try it. Do you needs to put butter or anything on the pastry to stop it from sticking???

I always liked Chicken, Cheese and Mayo on my toasted sanga.
Willambian
Or try some toasted wraps in the press! Yum

If you add the right fillings on lebanese bread you can make your own kebabs at home too. biggrin.gif
adnama
i make kebabs on ours as well on the lebanese bread
not as nice as the kebab shop but still delish

Tuna and cheese. Pretty boring. But DH puts a sprig of parsley on it for garnish laughing2.gif . Does that count as exciting?
PurpleAthame
I make chicken and pesto wraps, yum!!
saffybean
On panini or sub rolls:

Ham, Provolone, tomato

Chicken schnitzel, mayo, cheese, tomato (add lettuce or rocket when it is out)

Eggplant (cooked/fried) and provolone

Bocconcini, pesto, tomato

These are the main ones at my italian deli but I recreate them at home!

Foccacias with chicken, cheese and avacado or pesto, salami, sundried tom and cheese! now i want one!

You don't need butter. I don't even use it in teh Breville sandwich press (you know the one that puts a pretty pattern on your bread! tongue.gif

I have made baked beans one before too! Yummo!
~calypso~
mmmmm i love using wraps/flatbread for mine too!!

i love just about anything on it - as long as there is some yummy melty cheese laughing2.gif

my two favs are cheese and beetroot (on its own or with something else) and those ready to go vegie burgers (in cold section with the tofu).....mmmmmm
*soy-latte*
Yummo - thank you so much for the great suggestions! XXX
CrazyMumOf3
mmmm I never thought to make my own kebabs on lebanese bread


going to have to try that biggrin.gif

I use mine for absolutly everything. I fry bacon in it to add to salads or for steak burgers etc. Also I crack an egg onto it and put some cheese on top of the egg and then egg flip it off straight into the burger.

I mix some butter and minced garlic and paste it onto brumbys bread for a quick garlic bread.

Toast turkish bread pieces to have with soups etc

Quick Omeletes, pancakes etc.

Help I tried to make this today and it didn't turn out. The pastry was cooked on the top and bottom but still raw on the sides??? What did I do wrong? It is in the oven at the moment trying to salvage it.
Snagglepussed
Did you leave it in there long enough? His come out VERY flat and hot!

Not sure as it was browning on the top and bottom and I didn't want to burn it????

I make Quesadilla in mine, mostly using a recipe from the CSR web site called "Cheesy Avocado Quesadillas". I also add refried beans to mine. They are also yummy cold the next day. I make up a big batch, we have them for dinner and DH takes leftovers.
*Lara*
I will definitely be saving this to my favourites.

Some of these recipes sure beat the good ole toasted cheese & tomato! smile1.gif
Jembo
We always have do chicken, cheese & pineapple but with tortillias.

Hmm I want one now!

melmeko, just an idea, did you wait until griller was hot before putting in pastry?

I saw that on Ready Steady Cook, for flakier pastry, Janelle (blonde cook) said put the empty oven tray into the hot oven before placing the pastry on it, puffs it up for cooking, and make sure your pastry is properly thawed before using.

Leb bread with cheese, avocado, beetroot relish & grated carrot. tongue.gif

Nothing wrong with Tuna and cheese, well not until all 3 dd's discovered they liked it too! How come when you feed kids new food, they don't like it but it tastes better when taking mum's lunch away?? I like to split the bread into 2 circles, makes for thin and crispy kind of rollups.

Cheese and Marmite
Baked Beans
Spaghetti
Chick scnitzel, cheese, avocado & sweet chilli sauce
Left of Bolognaise with grated cheese and sour cream (DH is converted to these)

We keep 1 packet of Leb bread in the freezer, nuke in microwave for 1 min to thaw, then make cheesy grills.
melmeko
No the press was preheated. Mabey I rolled them with too much filling, or my puff pastry was in the freezer for too long. Must be some explanation for my disasterous attempt, LOL!!!

As mentioned previously, my favourites also include combinations of chicken, cheese, pesto, ham and sun dried tomatoes or sun dried capsicum (both chopped up in small pieces). Usually just on white bread unless I buy some turkish or foccacia especially for it. Yummo!
Anikas-mum
I love avocado, ham, sundried tom and swiss cheese...

chargrilled eggplant, capsicum, zucchini, baby spinach, sundried tom, pesto and swiss cheese.

Mothering the Mother
I have a few Snadwiches on the press...

Chicken and corn Jaffle
200g BBQ chick pulled apart and chopped
315g creamed corn
1/2c greated low fat cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Mix it all together, and sandwich between to pieces of bread in the normal way. The filing does become VERY hot, so watch the little ones....

Chicken with Cranberry & Camembert
1/4 c cranberry sauce
4 chopped spring onion
salt Pepper
thinly slice chicken roll/breast (from the deli)
tinly sliced camembert
Pile everything on the bread (this tastes even better on turkish) and heat until warm and cheese is melted..

I usually make up enough of the mixes and put them in the fridge for a few days, saves having to make them every time, especially during the winter months.

I love quesadilla with ham, basil leaves and sweet chilli sauce.

I also love felafel rolled up in flat bread, with cheese, tabouleh, and either sweet chilli or bbq sauce.

Roast beef, swiss cheese, onion and smoky bbq sauce is good too.
HappyValentine
Maybe just for the adults, Onion & Cheese! biggrin.gif Had it for lunch today, just dice up onion really fine and mix with grated cheese and a teaspoon of sugar to take the bitterness out of onion
