Avoiding Contamination #4

The toasted sandwich maker hasn't had much of a workout since Miss 3's allergies turned up and even less since my diet was restricted. I don't know about you but I tend to just give it a wipe with a damp paper towel and that's the extent of my cleaning of it. Which means I leave lots of things on it like the margarine I used on the outside of the bread to make it golden and the bread itself, and the cheese - you get the idea.

I thought I'd give toasted sandwiches a try since I was looking for an easy Sunday night dinner and I used to love them as a kid. And thankfully allergen-proofing wasn't particularly hard - I used my trusty roll of baking paper and created a lining to put the sandwich in and it cooked beautifully! Pity Miss 3 wasn't that thrilled about a toasted baked bean sandwich. Will have to think about yummier options for her - she's not that keen on baked beans or tinned spaghetti (not that I can blame her!). Any ideas for dairy and egg free toasted sandwiches?

  1. Hi! I've been doing shredded chicken, sliced beetroot and avocado (with some sliced red onion for grownups) and my two (3 and 1) quite enjoy it. The avocado tends to make up for the lack of cheese...I think so any way!

  2. Yes of course! Great idea. Miss 3 doesn't like avocado (she is a bit funny with certain textures poor girl) but I do - yum! Just had a look at your blog - what a lovely place you have to live in. We have the same kids play rug - it has been well used in our family.

  4. Thanks Laura - that is a yummy combination.
    I've also discovered that tuna makes a great filler and because of all the moisture in it the inside bread goes a bit soggy and reminds me of cheese! Tomato would do that too.
