Majorcan Toasted Sandwiches

You've all had a toasted sandwich in a Majorcan bar – ever wondered how they are made? Now you can recreate the Majorcan toasted sandwich when you get home and here’s how...

Put a heavy based frying pan on a medium heat – no oil or fat.

Butter or oil the two slices of white bread. On one slice put a layer of mayonnaise. Decide on your filling – anything from just cheese to a full salad and cooked bacon filling.

Assemble just as you would a ‘cold’ sandwich. Slightly press the sandwich together and push on to hot pan (careful not to burn your fingers!).

After a couple of minutes, using a fish slice or spatula, check for ‘toasting’ and if a good colour, turn the sandwich on to it's other side and repeat the process.

NOTE: For best results, slice fillings thinly.

Now enjoy your toasted sandwich – the filling should be warm, but still retain a 'crunch'.
