toasties
Hot pressed sandwiches
Toasties are grilled or toasted sandwiches, typically with melted cheese and other fillings pressed between two slices of bread.
The term is chiefly British: I made ham and cheese toasties for lunch.
A toastie maker or sandwich press creates the characteristic sealed edges and crispy exterior.
