(goats cheese, black pudding and spinach is my favourite pizza topping, so i had to try this, it worked really well!)




barbecue chicken, red onion, mature cheddar and gouda

bacon, mushroom and gouda (breakfast panini!)

this is our variation of a cuban... ham (cheap sliced), cheese (mature cheddar and gouda), prosciutto, sliced gherkin (cut into bits as a single slice just pulled straight out when you bit into it) and jalapenos, with firefoods fire horse mustard (or english on the original batch, but i ran out). mine also had pulled beef in, gf's has extra ham in.

bread-wise,fresh paninis from lidl are ok, even when really stale, if a little small. we *really* like ciabattas though - we got a pack of par-baked ones from booker cash and carry, need to get some more of those!

the next batch will be made using normal parbaked baguettes from the supermarket. will see how those turn out...

They look and sound amazing... were you aware the black pudding was arranged hidden mickey style lol

Do you cook the bacon first?

Variation on a tuna melt (which I find a bit bland) - tuna, cheese, onion and sweetcorn. Mix them all together and leave bowl in fridge for when needed. Yummy

yeah, the bread is too thick to cook the bacon underneath it... if you didnt you would end up with warm, raw bacon and melted cheese.

i tend to cook the bacon in batches and then store in the fridge, so the first day i cook the whole pack off (as well as a load of mushrooms) and stick in a tub in the fridge, then the next day i just load the cold, cooked stuff into the bread and reheat.

also means i can do a nice easy BLT sandwich if i want one
