- 8 thick slices of wholegrain sour dough bread
- 420g can Wattie’s Mild Chilli Beans
- 12 slices salami
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup grated low fat cheddar cheese
- Spoon Wattie’s Mild Chilli Beans* onto 4 slices of bread. Top with salami, tomato, red onion and grated cheese. Place a slice of bread on top.
- Brush a frying pan or griddle pan with a little oil. Place the sandwiches in the pan. Cook over a medium low heat, turning once until the sandwiches are golden and filling hot. Alternatively heat a sandwich press. Brush the sandwich tops with a little oil and cook until the toasties are golden and filling hot.
*If the bread is thick heating the chilli beans before spooning them onto the bread will lessen the cooking time.
Top Tips
- Use your favourite bread for the toasties.
