Wattie's Toasties - Cheese and Onion product reviews

I love toasted sandwiches eh. Make my own every chance I can get and I really enjoy trying out different stuff in them. Cheese and mushroom is a really interesting flavour that I really like. I figured these would be rubbish since they are made by machines. But when I got them home and let a couple thaw out so I could cook them I was really surprised coz they looked pretty decent. I was wondering about the stuff painted on the outside and wondered what it was coz it sure didnt look like butter. Couldnt find an answer on the packet so just decided to give them a go. Into the toaster for a bit until I could see they were nice and brown without being burnt. After burning my mouth on then I figured I should have left them for a little bit to cool down and when I did they were really tasty. For a basic filling like cheese n onion you cant really expect a lot of flavour but taking that into account these were top notch eh. Easy and quick and they also came up well when I biffed them into the frypan to do them the 'traditional' way so pretty good all round. Toss a couple in ya freezer coz they will be handy when you or the kids are hungry in between mealtimes.

By far my favourite! A classic staple toasted sandwich, nothing flashy, nothing gourmet, nothing presumptuous... everybody has had the classic.

Easy to cook, I tried this one from thawed, and again from frozen, and personally I preferred the from-frozen method! Quicker, easier, food-safer, and it doesn't risk you scorching your delicate chops and burning away the tastebuds.

Overall, though it would be great to see this with some other ingredients (eg. with ham or bacon) this is also just fine on it's own, no changes required. The thing that makes this #1 for me is that you can serve this one hot, with the cheese dribbling out, or you can let it cool, slice it into 4 triangles, and serve it on a plate with some other foods to act as toppings, such as sliced baby tomatoes, hame, bacon, corned beef, pickled onions, etc, and use the toastie in place of crackers... for something different at the party or as entrees. Multifunctional, tasty, simple... classic greatness.

A really good sandwich. By the time I got my ones home most had thawed out and since it is never a good idea to refreeze stuff I had a lot of eating to do. I managed to toast one in the normal way tho, but I thought it could use something to lift it up a bit like a pinch of pepper or maybe some herbs.
With most of them thawed out, it was time to call in the cavalry. Rang some mates and family to come on over for an afternoon feed. Last BBQ for the season. Steaks, tomato & parmisan sausages, and a stack of toasties cooked on the hotplate. Primo with some salad and some crusty french stick bread, with some flavoured oils as dips and toppers. I used some chili and avocado oil on the hotplate when I cooked these and it really lifted them right up. Good sign tho, means that these can take a flavour-change and still be primo munchies.
Excellent snackfood all round. Really open to flavour additives without losing its own identity.

I had to choose something quick and easy for a snack. I was looking in the freezer department and noticed Wattie-s new frozen toasties. I had seen these advertised in magazines and on TV so decided to give them a go. I did hesitate for a moment as they are a little on the expensive side, but thought well for two toasties in a pack it-s not all that bad.

I must admit the sound of a frozen toastie did not really get my taste buds going! I took them out of the packet and popped them in the toaster. After about 4 minutes, my toasties were lightly browned, and ready to eat.

They were pretty hot inside, so watch that you don-t burn yourself. What I loved most about these toasties was the cheese ™ it definitely tastes real, and there is more than enough in there. There was a distinct oniony flavour about them too, a perfect cheese and onion mix. The outside of the toastie was great ™ crisp and light.

I think the best thing about Watties toasties is the fact that you can cook them in the toaster! How easy is that ™ you don-t even have to dirty a grill or pan to cook them. My thoughts about the toasties being too expensive are now overruled by the fact the toasties are a good size and are filling. They would make a fantastic breakfast on the run. (especially so for the baked bean toastie ™ it-s like portable baked beans on toast!)
