Had one today, cheddar, onion, granary bread, done in the George Foreman grill. Lovely.
have you significantly buttered the pan / outer bread surface then ?
..
Only problem with foreman type grdiddles, like I use, is you can't do American Waffles/pancakes another dietary staple

Yep, I butter the outside of the bread.

Toasted sandwiches != toasties.
Toasties in the sense of this thread mean this:
It seems other countries know them as "Jaffles"? Weird.

was wondering if fried,boiled or scrambled egg would be best and found this... using 3 slices for each but removing the dough from the middle slice to put a raw egg in so it doesn't spill out everywhere

My go to toastie is cheese (with a bit of pepper) or cheese and sliced ham/beef/turkey. Cheese and mushroom is good but means having to cook up the mushrooms beforehand so if I'm being lazy it's too much

Every Sunday, I do grilled cheese on my cast iron pan. Monterey Jack, Mature Cheddar, Garlic powder/granules and maybe a bit of Mexicana or cheese with Jaalalepeno's in it for a kick.

I accept that only a Breville type machine makes a toastie. But a toasted sandwich must include the croque monsieur and what the Septics call "grilled cheese". Personally I haven't had a toastie machine in decades, all the filling boils and squirts out. My Dualit toaster has toasted sandwich rack, which is ace, but number one preference is in the frying pan. Although admittedly one cannot achieve the jam filled pocket of annihilation without a toastie machine.

This reminded me of one I used to make (and might do again soon) - Tyrrells Mature Cheddar and Chive crisps with Mexicana. Serve with ketchup and Frank's Red Hot

I love a toasted sandwhich. I remember putting a post years ago on facebook, primarially as a joke, about a new house purchase being complete once the sandwhich toaster arrived. The amount of people on that, and even some in this thread, that posted suggestions it will just end up in the back of a cupboard amazed me then and still does now! I love the thing. Probably use it at least once a week every week since I've had the thing.
Though reading this does make me wonder, I currently have the flat plate one like this;

Am I really missing out by not having the kind that seals round the edge?

I'm gonna say that yes, you're missing out! The sealing type plates create a hot, steamy environment that works incredibly well at cooking/heating the insides. It also means that the fillings are fully contained within the toastie, meaning less wastage/seepage from said toastie. The only thing is to make sure that the bread you use fits the plates. Sometimes loaves can be distorted, leading to ejection of filling, which is bad!!!

Yep. If this post was a toastie, I'd eat the hell out of it.
but the thread's called Toasted Sandwiches!
OP even said he bought a toasted sandwich machine to make toasties
It is the exact breville from Zefan's pedantry post! I guess they are toasties
Waffles from it are magnificent
