I can’t stop making toasties and you won’t stop thinking about this CHICKEN PESTO KRAUT TOASTIE once you’ve tried it either my friend.
We haven’t had a toastie maker for a long while because I couldn’t deal with the toxic non-stick linings that most are made with. Then I teamed up with @theoriginalgreenpan.anz and my friends it’s like YEARS of Jacq’s toasty dreams are being UNLEASHED.
The GreenPan “toastie maker” isn’t ACTUALLY any old toasty machine though – it is in fact a full contact grill, with interchangeable plates for grill and flat plate and adjustable heat plates so you can cook anything from toasties to STEAK, eggs, sandwich melts, grilled veggies and (I did asparagus with eggs the other day to go with…) you can can swap the plates out with the WAFFLE PLATES too. SO. MUCH. FUN.
Safe to say I’m in love with our new friend in the kitchen, and as always, in love with the safe, non-toxic PFAS free, ceramic non-stick coating on all our GreenPan products including this incredible contact grill. More toastie recipes to come – LOOK. OUT.
CHICKEN PESTO KRAUT AND CHEESE TOASTIE
Serves 2
4 slices sourdough bread
Butter, to spread
2 tbsp pesto or salsa verde (alternatively finely chop fresh herbs on hand)
4 slices Jarlsberg cheese
2 tbsp sauerkraut, liquid drained
2 cups cooked chicken breast (approx 2 chicken breasts), cut into 1-2cm pieces
2 tbsp good quality mayonnaise
2 cups baby spinach
½ cup grated mozzarella
Opt: Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
Preheat GreenPan Contact Grill using BOTH plates at 180C. Butter the bread and spread pesto on one side of each sandwich. Layer Jarlsberg cheese on the top of the pesto, followed by the sauerkraut. Add chicken breast, mayonnaise and mozarella to a bowl, season with pepper and mix to coat, then add baby spinach and toss. If you wish to give the outside of the outside of the sandwiches a brush with extra virgin olive oil do so. Place sandwiches into the GreenPan Contact Grill, lower and lock the top, then cook on 180C for 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from GreenPan Contact Grill, allow to cool slightly before slicing and eating.
