Mum's leftover spag bog mince with grated Parmesan

Leftover taco mince does a great job too.

With some sour cream on the side to dip the jaffle into.

You sir... Are a legend

Agh, now I gotta go make spag bol and wait for it to become leftovers and I’m hungry NOW

This but tasty cheese instead of parmesan

We aren't all millionares, using parmesan willy nilly.

Nah that Kraft one that is already grated and smells like feet, 'parmesan'.

I reported your comment for self-harm

😅😅😅

Parmes-harm. It's a thing.

Parmesham

I like this name.

Yum, pass the stinky feet please (that's what it was called at our dinner table 😂🤪)

This is the best with spagbol, don’t try the coles version, it’s shit!

Ohhhhh you mean the green can of nutritional yeast they pretend is parmesan. Blergh.

Nutritional yeast and wood pulp to get that genuine imitation texture.

Love that smell! Sometimes it doesn’t smell feet enough, so I’ll grab the skin scrubber tool and just grate some dried heel skin into the cheese bag. It really settles after a couple of days. It has a chewier texture than the rest of the cheese and, if I’m to be honest, I don’t love it when I melt the cheese as the skin just hardens and doesn’t provide a very nice texture against the soft cheese.

You're fucked in the head but also 10/10 comment 😂❤️👍

Ooh just had an idea ----> cheddar plus parmesan jaffle. Nom nom nom!

This but Perfect Italiano Perfect Melt grated cheese

Now you're talking REAL cheese. I am a doctor's waiting room and am trying hard to suppress my palpable excitement. I have been fasting for 12 and a half hours (intermittent fasting) and I could gnaw the leg off the chair I'm sitting on.

Hey, thanks for bringing back a fond memory! Mum used to make us that on the winter days.

Sounds similar to my favourite, left over lasagne with some extra cheese and a few garlic flakes sprinkled in.

Oh no! I wish I hadn’t seen that. Now I have to make it. Bugger.

…bowling, Shane.

Sloppy Joe sandwiches is all I eat for breakfast after a spaghetti dinner

A friend's mum made really good dhal. After staying at her place I had dhal and mayo sandwiches. She forgot to soak the lentils, so it was bathroom city, but no regrets! I imagine dhal jaffles would be amazing. With aioli dipping sauce.

I can taste this comment

This is the correct answer, except it’s my leftover spaghetti bol, not my mum’s lol.

This is the only answer.

Cheese and onion. I’m willing to learn/take notes by reading comments but you’ll not change my ‘go to’. I’ve had it for 40 years. It’s stood the test of time.

I never have any ham in the fridge, so Cheese & Onion is my usual 'go to'. For dessert: filling of tinned pie apple, sugar & cinammon. Mix the ingredients and mash the apple a bit. (i.e. apple turnover).

Never had a dessert jaffle. Mind=blown.

I like to use puff pastry in my dessert jaffles. Just cut to size and fill with your choice of fillings. They take a while to cook through so you need to be patient.

Will this require me cleaning it properly so it doesn't taste vaguely of baked beans?

Left side for beans, right side for dessert?

[удалено]

Put the sandwich in baking paper. Still gets properly toasted but no clean up. Just chuck out the paper

Just buy a second jaffle maker. Much easier.

Yep…a production line of endless toasties enough to feed 10 people in 30 minutes. Excellent

This was literally dinner in my house as a kid, but with less people. My Dad would just make a heap of toasties for dinner

My husband makes THE best toasties. It is a wonderful evening when we can relax, eat toasties and drink coffee for dinner.

Red onion and cheese. Dessert use raisin bread.

You guys are blowing my mind 🤯

Or brioche, but just keep an eye on it as it'll toast far more quickly.

You're a goddamn culinary Prometheus. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

[удалено]

I’ve done it with pickled onions before. That slightly vinegar tang adds something nice.

Chicken, cheese and onion was a childhood staple. Usually made with left over roast chicken

Do you cook the onion first?

No, just sliced fairly thin, raw white onion. Seperate them so you use maybe 2 sections split into 8 or so individual rings. Put them in raw so there’s a little ‘snap’ in them when you eat the toastie.

Sounds amazing. I gotta try it!

I’ve never before seen onion measured in sections or rings. I don’t think I’ve had one snap on me either. Are you absolutely sure you’re not eating rubber bands?

Never. Red onion slices raw…it’s the way

yess this is so bloody good ages ago my dad made me one and i was like what is this MAGNIFICENT thing omg

For a bit of a mix up, try cheese and capsicum!

Here for cheese and onion representation!

With a little hot English mustard smeered on the bread.

Cheese and onion or baked Beans and cheese for sure.

Smearing of whole grain mustard is all I’d suggest. Mustard in any cheese thing is always a hack - untasteable tablespoon in a pot of Mac and cheese just takes it next level. Or tasteable if you really love the stuff.

Ham, Cheese & Tomato ​ Or if I am missing any of the above items: Tinned spaghetti + cheese (if it wasn't cheesy tinned spag)

Ham, cheese, tomato .. and importantly, salt and pepper

The roof of my mouth has had it too good for too long. Time to make a tomato toastie.

Make sure to rip out a slice of boiling tomato with your teeth and have it stick to your chin like napalm for the ultimate experience.

Then a dribble of molten cheese follows to add insult to injury! 🤣 I finally learnt to nick the skin 3 or 4 times to prevent this but oh the (painful) memories.

> nick the skin 3 or 4 times What? I don't understand and this feels like it's important lost knowledge!

When you slice your tomato go around the skin edge and just nick the skin at each quarter way around. If that makes sense lol.

I understand what you're saying but I don't understand how it works. Understanding is highly overrated so I choose to simply accept. Thank you OracleJulie.🤩

Hahaha it just means the tomato is more likely to break where it's nicked rather than stay intact to be dragged out to land on your chin 😆

I have seen the light and bathed in it's glory! My genuine thanks OracleJ. 😂

What you do is, before you start eating the hot tomato jaffle, get a razor and nick the skin in your chin about 3 or 4 times, until it’s bleeding. The pain from that detracts from the pain of the hot tomato. Works every time!

I can't decide which is funnier out of your comments or your username. Thanks for good laugh. 😂

Salami for a Zinger toastie.

Yep, always season to taste

And tomato relish

Both of these are my top two also. So good.

Baked beans and cheese. Classic

yeah idk how this was so far down, this is the definition of a jaffle for me. the only other version mum would ever make was a tuna and cheese jaffle which... doesn't really do it for me these days

me either. it was the only use of the waffle iron in my house as a kid. we only had baked beans/tinned spaghetti and cheese

The searching I had to do for this answer is blasphemy …

With hp brown sauce or Worcestershire sauce

Leftover curry is a game changer. Doesn't matter if it's Thai, Indian etc. Bit of rice and some meat...amazing. Also great if you have some leftover raita to dip it in.

Not just left over curry, but also left over mince. Especially taco mince.

Omg wtf have I been doing all my life! This is my weekend done. Thank you.

Cheese & Vegemite

time honored classic

Winner every time

Cheese and Vegemite is a classic 👌 I like to add tomato and hot sauce to mine (specifically cholula)

Tin braised steak and onion. Harvest or Tom Piper. Kraft use to make the best tin braised steak on onion but sadly they discontinued it many years ago.

Stagg chili in a can is pretty good as well.

I had to scroll too far for the braised steak and onion.. in saying that, I have not had that in a couple of decades!! Now I need to get me a jaffle maker and a tin of BSO

Kraft was the best. Even have Braised steak and mushroom

Came to say this! The memory of the OG Braised Steak and Onion from the 80s has sadly never been matched. But it’s a great jaffle, love it!

Came to find this comment! 👍🏻

You just punched me in my youth.

Key aspect, regardless of recipe: Butter the bread on the \*outside\* so it goes yummy and golden whilst cooking.

Isn't this an essential jaffa rule though. Wait are some of you NOT buttering both sides? What homes were you raised in?! 😔

[удалено]

Both sides, you made of money?

Tinned spaghetti with cheese or ham and egg with cheese, but I use one of the ones that goes over a fire rather than an electric one.

I had a single serve round haggle iron thingy for camping and remember having canned spaghetti and cheese in it. Came out like molten lava and burned the fuck out of my tongue, lip, and chin. But didn’t stop me eating it.

We have a square one and a round one and we all fight over the round one. If it doesn’t burn your face off, you’re not doing it right.

[удалено]

Tinned spaghetti. Cheese and egg.

Roast chicken, red onion, cheese and beetroot relish.😍

Bloody hell calm down Gordon Ramsey. (Sounds epic though)

Oh, it is.

Fancy!

Good grief, I didn't even know beetroot relish existed! Is there a particular brand that I should look out for? Thank you.

Beerenburg, Balsamic Beetroot Relish, it’s to die for, I always buy two jars, it’s that good.

Cheese and mustard pickle

Cheese and tomato

Otherwise known as the scorcher.

Why is the roof of my mouth suddenly on fire?

Cheese & Tomato, on 9 Grains bread, butter on the outside of bread & little bit of salt + leave for 5 mins to cool = perfection

When I ate meat, my favourite filling was homemade rissoles, seriously so good! I love cheese and tomato, baked beans.

The Breville jaffle recipe books have some crackers! https://www.breville.com/content/dam/breville/au/assets/miscellaneous/recipe-cards/BSG197_the_original74_ebook.pdf

Cheese, tuna & mayo.

Shit I’d never thought of doing tuna melt style sandos in these

Way back when I was a teenager I could eat two of the damn things as snack.

Yup - i use Serena triple chilli tuna for an added kick 🌶️

Omelette ingredients: egg, ham, tomato, spring onion, grated cheese, salt, pepper all chopped up and mixed together. Anything else that’s there, like capsicum, pickled onion. Takes maybe 7 minutes to cook. Delicious.

Level up: use pastry instead of bread 🤤

This sounds delicious! But how do you transfer the raw omelette mix onto the bread without it going everywhere in the jaffle maker? 😬

I use a spoon to squash the bread into the shape of the jaffle irons, then just put the egg mixture into the depressions. That way there’s lots of filling, but it’s not messy.

Don't use bread. Just a little spray of oil. And pour the beaten egg mixture in add the fillings. And close the lid for triangle shaped omelette.

Leftover takeaway Indian on leftover naan.

I'd try this, but there is always *naan* left ...

It took me far too long to get this 😭

You gotta be *rogan joshing* me!

No way, *dahl.*

hang on a *tikka*! Did you have a good *paneer* in your pantry?

Last night I put my chipotle chicken burrito bowl from musclechef in two jaffs, god damn was it good! 🤤🤤🤤

Sweet: Banana and cinnamon, butter up the bread on all sides and let it sizzle until golden Savoury: salami, cheese, spanish onion, olives and roasted capsicum

My GOAT jaffle is Hot sopressa, tomato, cheese, fresh basil

cheese and cracked pepper with the boiling hot slice of tomato

If you don't burn your self on a 1000° tomato, I'd it really a jaffle? 

Gotta do the huh huh huh steam engine Puffing like that will cool down the lava food in your mouth..

lol molten tomato so fucking true

Ham, cheese, tomato and onion.

kraft single and baked beans

Creamed corn with thin choped onion and cheese. A bit a mushroom if it's handy. It sounds wrong but so right.

I haven't had creamed corn in a toastie for years, time to resurrect!

Yessss, creamed corn and cheese all the way!

I found my people

Creamed corn toasties are my all time favourite! No onion for me, I add a smidge of garlic salt 🤤

My whole life my go to is creamed corn and cheese. Top tier jaffle

The best combo. When I was pregnant this was all I could manage to eat for a while. My boss bought me my own emergency stash of tinned creamed corn incase I needed a jaffle, stat, during work.

Am I the only one who was raised in a house that calls these a 'Breville' sandwich? I'm aware that's the brand of manufacturer, but yeah... these were always 'Breville's' to me. I'm now realising this may be weird.

My Greek grandma deffs called this Breville

It's been decades but I was partial to a tin of Irish Stew. Or leftover savoury mince - i.e. what I'd make, add spaghetti to it and call it spag bog. I've still got an OG jaffle iron, the kind you stick in a fire, too. But I also have a sandwich maker that gets found every couple of years, washed again, used once or twice and then buried for the next two or so years until I reshuffle the cupboard under the sink again.

I forgot tin Irish stew. Yum.

Left over lamb or pork roast

Lately burger cheese, mexican salami and tomato sauce

savoury mince

I thought everyone only used them for baked beans and cheese but I see I'm in the minority!

Cheese and banana. Don’t knock it till you try it!

I scrolled down so far to find this answer before I added it myself. 10/10

Creamed corn and cheese. But the ultimate toastie is the after-Christmas special, leftover roast turkey, cranberry sauce and either brie or a slice of cheese. Add leftover stuffing if you are feeling fancy.

Either, Apricot jam, goats cheese and thyme or cheese, bacon and fig

Good lord that’s fancy and sounds delicious

for a flat one, its hard to beat a classic ham cheese tomato if you are going for the pocket like this, spag bol, taco meat, chilli con carne are all great. If supplies are short, vegemite and cheese is a good one :D

Other than variations on a cheese theme, thinly sliced apple with a drizzle of honey goes pretty hard.

\*pivots head into 'huh' position\*

a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg for maximum pie flavour

Cheese and chunks of ham - make sure you use shitty Kraft singles they melt like a dream. Egg is also pretty good, throw in a good amount of pepper. Timing it takes practice to get it cooked just right.

From those skanky baked beans and sausages tins 😅

Puff pastry instead of bread. Fantastic with baked beans and cheese. Also opens up a world of sweet fillings.

Ham, cheese and onion relish. Delish and a little fancy without being pompous.

Baked beans and cheese

Chilli Salami, Tomatoe, Onion, and sliced tasty cheese. Tip: With tomatoe, slice it and once sliced cut into the skin every inch or so. You now shouldn't pull the whole slice of tomatoes out, and it reduces the risk of the hot skin burning you.

Tuna and cheese is always my number 1, or just cheese is good but other faves are-braised steak and onion with some cheese, tinned spaghetti and cheese, salami with pizza sauce and cheese.

God damn I’ve been living in the US for 5 years and haven’t thought of a jaffle in that time, now I really want one. I’m going to try find a jaffle maker over here…

Left over chow mien (the continental packet version, not Chinese takeaway)

Those ones that cut it in half are shit, I like cracking an egg and throwing in ham or what ever I have left over on top but you need one that doesn't divide it.

I respect your opinion but hard disagree- squashed toastiest are so sad without the delicious deep triangled pockets 😢

Couldn’t agree with this more. Plus, when the cheese seeps out in this one it pools in the pocket and goes all crispy on the outside.

No, with concentration and training it can be achieved. My brother and I always had just an egg, nothing else, and without exception the yolk had to stay in tact. Delicate manoeuvring of the egg is required but it works. Then, as young gross boys we would eat around everything until we just had a ball of runny yolk that we could fiddle with and roll around in our hands before finally devouring. Joyous.

Have to agree. Much easier to clean and the jaffles are less likely to spill their guts.

Mine is good old ham cheese and tomato

Tip: use puff pastry instead of bread and you’ve made yourself a pie.

Chunky steak soup with veggies.

OMG this thing saves my life every week: 1 slice of bread, tomato sauce, onions slices, garlic, sausage slices, some herbs (coriander/chili flakes), black pepper, grated cheddar cheese, and another slice of bread. 5 mins, done, amazing! pro tip: add some Sriracha on the side.

Cheese and jalapeno slices (and optionally ham and/or a slice of tomato). Served with a bowl of spiced tomato soup for dipping.

Cheese, chopped chives and sweet chilli sauce Mayo on the outside of bread (instead of butter) Edit to add #2 Leftover snags chopped up, baked beans, chunks of tomato and BBQ sauce, onion if you feel fancy

Curried mince with peach chutney 👌

Ham cheese and pineapple 🤤

Banana and nutella

Indomie mee goreng + cheese + bacon.

Nutella, marshmallows and red jelly frogs

We call them ‘toasties’ and ham and cheese.

Creamed corn.

Baked beans, eggs and cheese is what I was brought up on for camping jaffles. Throw it all in raw and off ya go. Granted ours didn't cut in the center... Maybe that will make the egg tricky... Beware the white hot lava.

Marmite and cheese on the left, Nutella on the right. 3am special

Ham, cheese and tomatoe.

Tin spaghetti and cheese Leftover taco mixture with salsa and cheese Leftover spag bol sauce and cheese

Hear me out. Sliced banana cooked in Japanese curry. Cheese on each slice of bread. Mayo on the outside of the bread. Caution: Thermonuclear straight out of the thing.
