Focaccia Pan Toastie

August 5, 2012 by GG 14 Comments

Focaccia Pan Toastie

The only down side to making your own bread is that it really doesn’t last long, often being stale by the following day.  Usually there isn’t much left, but on that odd occasion when the Glam Teens don’t finish it all, I make Pan Toasties.  Focaccia is particularly good for this because of the olive oil in the bake.  You can put anything in the sandwiches that would go into a regular toastie.

Focaccia Pan Toastie

  • 2 squares of focaccia (enough for 2 sandwiches)
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic
  • 1/2 chilli finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 large thin slices cheese
  • Equipment griddle pan or frying pan

Cheesy Focaccia Pan Toastie


Method

  • Mix together, in a bowl, the olive oil, balsamic,chilli and garlic
  • Slice the focaccia in half through the middle
  • Brush the insides of the four pieces of bread with the olive oil mixture
  • Slice the tomatoes and lay on the two ‘bottom’ slices of bread
  • Top with the cheese
  • Put the ‘lid’ on the sandwiches
  • Brush to outside of the sandwiches with the olive oil mixture
  • Heat a frying pan or griddle pan on a high heat
  • Turn down to medium and put the sandwiches in the pan, leave to brown slightly
  • After 3 minutes place a bowl or plate over the sandwiches in the pan.  (This increases the heat and helps to melt the cheese)
  • After about 5 minutes remove the bowl or plate and flip the sandwich
  • Press down hard on the top of the sandwich with a fish slice to flatten the sandwich (like a toasted panini)
  • Once the under side is browned about, 5 minutes, remove from the pan
  • Slice in half lengthwise and serve with or without your favourite relish or sauce

    Oh my gosh! Toasties are my favourite and these look so good! Toasties kicked up a notch I see :). Your focaccia looked amazing too. I haven’t had much time to visit my blog friends lately with Ramadan but I did see your pictures on Facebook. Yum!

    GG, I adore a good toastie (I’m sure that’s what contributes to the winter weight) and this is pure food porn! 😀

    I love toasties, particularly at this time of the year. They make a great lunch or a lovely quick and easy TV meal xx

    Yummo indeed! I use a lovely Basil oil and I think the chilli would be great in that too 🙂
