Chilli Bean Toasties

Here is another delicious way to eating your favourite chilli beans - serve as a filling in your favourite bread for a quick and delicious meal. You can also switch this up by adding pesto or spinach for tasty variations.

Makes 4 toasties
Prep Time 5 mins
Cook Time 5-10 mins
Easy As

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.
