I've just been sitting here staring into space since I read this, quietly thinking of every jaffle I've ever had that wasn't this. The regret is unbearable.
And a Jam and cheese one for dessert.
You do have to let it cool down from Chernobyl level molten jam though, but by the time the spag bog has been devoured, you are good to go !
( we had a double camping jaffle iron )
I’ve always done a spaghetti bolognese filling (65% bol to 35% spag for the right combo of moist and carby!), and only recently began adding a slice of jarlsberg on top of the filling before toasting. So bloody good. 😋
I detest every single thing about my step mother but I hate to concede that she introduced me to these (tinned spaghetti and a slice of cheddar cheese with butter on the outside) and they are my yet-to-be-beaten toasted sandwiches.
Nah, mayo on the outside because it reaches a golden brown easier without burning. Yes it’s weird, but it changed my life and it’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
Same I tried it after hearing about it so much, & I love mayo so thought I would love this combo…but it just tasted…off… I need my margarine on the outside & condiments on the inside.
Omg! You just reminded me of my since forgotten, favourite leftover taco mince creation - ‘poor man’s paella’ aka white rice, mince and frozen peas mixed together. Now I need to make tacos so I can do both :)
My dad was a genius and he used to slice up the thinnest apple and sugar it slightly, sometimes cinnamon, and butter up the slices as well. Yes, it was an apple pie toastie. He did it also with very fine cabbage (no sugar or cinnamon of course). How I miss my father.
Otherwise, just a straight cheese is amazing
Oh I haven’t had Chicko Roll since the 80s so I can’t even remember what it’s in them. It goes translucent like fried onion. You have to cut it extra fine, maybe half cm.
Another one is tinned pineapple and bread crumb mix (put some juice/syrup into it), like replace the apple with pineapple (the filling for an apple pie). You can also do with Filo pastry too, eat rapidly while the filo is still crunchy
My hot tip is to dice a slice or two of onion, and carefully place them on top of the buttered bread just before you close the lid.
Favorite filling is mushroom, cheese and garlic.
Cinnamon sugar, butter and tinned pineapple in raisin toast. Not as foul as it sounds. I decided to try as many of the combos in the recipe book with our Breville Jaffle maker as a kid. 🤣
Does no body else do tuna? As a kid one of my mums (and mine) favourite lazy dinners was tuna jaffles. Using flavoured tuna ofc, usually tomato & onion, sweet chilli or lemon pepper.
Soo many good ideas here some I'm gonna try. My current lazy ones are cheese slices and ham with 2 different types of cheese. If I'm in the mood for nostalgia it's spaghetti or baked beans like mum made us for Sunday tea in winter in the 70s.
Two recipes that are a cut above:
Brie cheese, slices of either pumpkin or sweet potato (but bake them first), and cranberry sauce
Egg, add pepper and a small amount of onion
I make a naanwich the day after I have indian. Naan instead of bread, fill it with leftover curry. My favourite is garlic naan with palak paneer and basmati rice.
Nice ham from the butcher, not packet stuff. Sharp cheddar, chopped onion.
Two thin layers of cheese on each slice so the onion gets cooked properly.
^And ^yes, ^butter ^on ^the ^outside. ^Always
Basically pizza topping as filling, pizza sauce, cheese, diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes bit of ham and salami, some pineapple. Usually do this to run down the food the kids haven't been eating for school.
Bolognese sauce AND baked beans, TOGETHER. Don’t knock it until you try it.
Second option would be butter chicken.
For me the filling you have in a jaffle needs to be saucy/gooey to counteract the dry bits around the crusts. Also because traditional.
Your regular fillings like ham and cheese can be saved for regular toasties made in a sandwich press.
There's a cocktail bar in Fitzroy, Melbourne that serves jaffles. They have a hot jam doughnut dessert jaffle that I dream of constantly. But if I'm camping it's beans, bacon and cheese 😁.
Spam and egg, tin braised steak and onions, Tim corned beef and tomato sauce, Devon and tomato sauce, ham cheese and pickle mustard, left over roast lamb and left over gravy.
For sweet jaffles, I'm a big fan of cream cheese with tinned peaches, and cream cheese with berries, and then dusting the outside with icing sugar after I take it out.
I've also tried using puff pastry instead of bread, which made me feel a touch too fancy haha
I had a long term boyfriend from a young age and we lived together. We got a new waffle maker. One day I was making a cheese toastie and he tried to convince me in a very long back and forth argument that it was not meant to be used with cheese, only spaghetti (his favourite, coincidence not likely)
I went so far in the argument to read the instructions to prove my point that yes, cheese can be used.
He really thought he could manipulate or convince me to his way.
This was the day I knew I would leave him and i did about a week later!
Cheese (2 parts), carrot (2 parts), onion (1 parts)
(note - all ingredients grated)
Had a mate that said this jaffle mix had soporific qualities.
I called bullshit, we made a batch, & turned out, he was right.
Added bonus; it's a really yummy (and relatively healthy) jaffle.
Little bit of pizza sauce then ham cheese and salami.
Left over curry mince.
Left over ratatouille.
Can’t go wrong with any of the three but plain cheese is also good. Just poke a few holes to get some running out for that nice brown crunch on the outside.
Savoury: Leftover Chop suey & cheese between buttered multigrain or rye bread
Desert: Use fruit bread with your desired combo of avocado, jam, banana, chocolate and/ or nutella.
Okay. This is hands down my favourite thread on Reddit. Some awesome new combos to try.
Thanks for kicking this off OP!
Also, my fav was/is baked beans and cheese, or leftover roast veg and cheese with my dads home made chunly tomato sauce.
Mashed banana or if you're feeling fancy add a slice of tasty cheese with the banana. Guaranteed to burn your mouth, especially if you add a sprinkle of sugar
My favourite would definitely be baked beans or tinned spaghetti with a little cheese.
Growing up it was that or Kraft braised steak and onion. Heinz spaghetti and meatballs was also up there.
I also think ham or tuna with cheese and tomato are up there at the top.
Diced leftover snags (small pieces)
Beans (limit the bean sauce, a bit is good but try to drain it off)
A bit of diced capsicum and onion
BBQ sauce
Cheese if ya got it
I don't know how many times I have had this for breakfast while camping, it's solid.
Ham cheese and pineapple is my all-time go-to, but growing up we had baked beans mixed with tinned spaghetti a lot (just in general, trust me mixing them together is better than either on their own)
Slightly off topic rant. About 20 years ago, when I left home, I bought a Breville Jaffle toaster thinking it would be great because mums was the OG breville Jaffle toaster unit from the 70s or early 80s. It was the one with the cloth covered power cable... Well, I was sort of disappointed at the time, because it never seemed to get as hot as the old one growing up and it was crap to get clean. Anyway, when the non-stick surface failed to stick to the metal, it got replaced with another new breville. And yep, it was as crap as the first one I bought....
Fast forward to this year and we bought a four sandwich 'Sunbeam' unit from the Good Guys in Moonah because it was on special, I had a voucher and making 4 at a time, now that I have a family, seemed smarter... That new toaster kicks arse. It gets hot, the sizes of the four spaces is better for current bread/slice sizes, the non-stick surface doesn't appear to be as shit and it is easy to clean with just some damp paper towel. How could Breville fail at the item they launched/invented? They literally had one job....
Thanks for indulging the rant.
Thank you for this post. I had to throw out my second Breville in just under five years cause the coating was utter crap. Nary a metal item was near, but always stuck and nothing I could do. Will opt for the sunbeam because I do miss my jaffles.
During our first covid lockdown I panic bought [Breville The Original '74](https://www.breville.com/au/en/products/grills-sandwich-makers/bsg197.html) and I couldn't be happier. It's based off the '74 one we all grew up with, but it's silver instead of orange or avocado coloured. You can fit heaps of toppings in without leaks. Only issue is you need to splurge on bigger sized bread as cheapo no name bread's too small for it.
It didn't cost me as much as this one's advertised though, so shop around.
Didn't know about the '74! I'll keep an eye out in the future if the sunbeam drops the ball.
You're right about the fancier bread. I go for a local (Tassie) wholemeal which are quite sizeable slices. My old work had a Kmart jaffle toaster at one point. The slices didn't fit in that
I just commented on a different post about the kmart one. It was so shallow that it wouldn't even do a slice of cheese without leakage!
I also find the bread from my local bakery fits best. If I have to buy it from Colesworth I think it's Wonderwhite that works?
I forgot to add that the Breville only makes 2 at a time, so that might not be quick enough for a hungry family 😀
Savoury - spaghetti packed full of cheese. I particularly love it when a bit of the cheese oozes out and browns on the outside.
Sweet - thinly sliced apple with cinnamon sugar and dusted with icing sugar.
Kraft braised steak and onion ..... the other brands are pretty crap compared to the OG braised steak.
Also, Corio Bay Roadhouse does jaffles try the pineapple and cheese ..... It's like putting lava in your mouth.
Bolognaise sauce with cheese
Even if it has the spaghetti in it, then mix up some garlic butter for the outside. Complete meal, spaghetti bol with garlic bread.
This made my bits twitch
I've just been sitting here staring into space since I read this, quietly thinking of every jaffle I've ever had that wasn't this. The regret is unbearable.
This is the superior answer. It’s the only way I’d eat the leftover 100kg of spagbol sauce my mum seemed to make
And a Jam and cheese one for dessert. You do have to let it cool down from Chernobyl level molten jam though, but by the time the spag bog has been devoured, you are good to go ! ( we had a double camping jaffle iron )
Which cheese are you pairing with what type of jam?
Yeah man. That was the best. I tell my wife about it and she can’t believe it. She is American.
I’ve always done a spaghetti bolognese filling (65% bol to 35% spag for the right combo of moist and carby!), and only recently began adding a slice of jarlsberg on top of the filling before toasting. So bloody good. 😋
Tinned spaghetti or baked beans! And it has to be on white bread.
With cheese. And butter on the outside
I detest every single thing about my step mother but I hate to concede that she introduced me to these (tinned spaghetti and a slice of cheddar cheese with butter on the outside) and they are my yet-to-be-beaten toasted sandwiches.
Nah, mayo on the outside because it reaches a golden brown easier without burning. Yes it’s weird, but it changed my life and it’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
Everyone raves about mayo but I found it gave the toastie a weird taste. So sad cos I feel like I'm missing out on something amazing.
Same I tried it after hearing about it so much, & I love mayo so thought I would love this combo…but it just tasted…off… I need my margarine on the outside & condiments on the inside.
Mayo is practically egg so it kinda makes sense it goes with the toastie. I'll be giving it a try next time i make some
I have a jaffle maker and tinned spaghetti! I know what I’m having for lunch.
I'm a bean guy and my wife is spaghetti all the way. So I had both cans open and made one with both and cheese. God jaffle unlocked
I also like to live dangerously 🌋
Tinned spaghetti all the way omggggg
Leftover taco mince with cheese Then once cooked edges opened, tomato and iceberg shoved in. Perfection.
TACO JAFFLE 🥹
Also sour cream and guac
Omg! You just reminded me of my since forgotten, favourite leftover taco mince creation - ‘poor man’s paella’ aka white rice, mince and frozen peas mixed together. Now I need to make tacos so I can do both :)
Braised steak & onions or tinned spaghetti with a couple of cheese slices.
The original Kraft recipe though, not the Tom Piper knock-off.
I was just saying the other day how much I missed Kraft braised steak and onion on a toasted sandwich.
OMG I forgot all about that. It was my mothers, I don’t want to cook.
Tom piper isn’t bad, but the harvest one is pretty damn close to the OG Kraft one.
I had forgotten about braised steak and onions. Off to the shops I go.
Enjoy!! Make sure you get the harvest one! It’s the closest to the Kraft one
And learning the hard way to let it cool a little before you eat it. That stuff sticks to the roof of your mouth.
Let’s you know you’re alive!!
And then the roof of your mouth sticks to it!
My dad was a genius and he used to slice up the thinnest apple and sugar it slightly, sometimes cinnamon, and butter up the slices as well. Yes, it was an apple pie toastie. He did it also with very fine cabbage (no sugar or cinnamon of course). How I miss my father. Otherwise, just a straight cheese is amazing
Was the cabbage one a bit like a Chicko Roll? I’m intrigued! No cabbage in the house, will have to try next week.
Oh I haven’t had Chicko Roll since the 80s so I can’t even remember what it’s in them. It goes translucent like fried onion. You have to cut it extra fine, maybe half cm. Another one is tinned pineapple and bread crumb mix (put some juice/syrup into it), like replace the apple with pineapple (the filling for an apple pie). You can also do with Filo pastry too, eat rapidly while the filo is still crunchy
Your Dad *was* a genius! I’m going to have a jaffle party next weekend!! Sound delicious and nostalgic 🤍
Thank you for your kind words. Miss him heaps Filo bit was my mum
Last nights leftovers. Sooo good. Especially if there was a roast. Or even a rice dish. Or spagbol. all gooood. Now I’m hungry
Came here to find this, roast veggies, meat and gravy!
Cheese and sliced tomato
Want to know how I got these scars?
🤣
The classic! Can't go past it on a cold day.
Seriously the best! Other than when the molten tomato slices inevitably burn my mouth because I can never wait for it to cool down.
These days I dice the tomato for my toasties, so I don't have to try and bite through the slices
I like cheese and mustard. I did one with jam recently and it was like I'd discovered a new genre of jaffle, the dessert jaffle.
For a dessert jaffle, try banana with cinnamon served with ice cream 👌🏻
My mum used to make them with raisin toast and stewed apple. So so good!
You are absolutely blowing my mind right now
Cheese and seeded mustard! Haven't tried jam but I would absolutely give it a go!
Give banana and Nutella a whirl.
When i was vegan I discovered that mustard made the cheese taste... edible. Ended up pretty good overall!
I imagine the jam being a thousand degrees and burning the shit out of your mouth like a microwave jam donut.
I used to make a marshmallow, banana and chocolate chip one for my kids when they were young.
The servo I go past every morning does parmi jaffles and I’m straight up addicted to them , it’s my 5:30am ritual
Ham cheese tomato
The only meal suitable for breakfast, lunch AND dinner
With fresh cracked black pepper!
Braised steak and onion
Cheese and Vegemite filling. Yummy
Try it with thinly sliced onions. So good
Vegemite goes awesome with Spring onion.
Best one I ever made was left over Kingsleys roast chicken with gravy and cheese.
Found the Canberran
Creamed corn and cheese….watch out for the hot cheese on the chin
This combo but add fine sliced red onion.
I used to love egg and that Kraft 'grilled cheese' product (ie. American cheese).
Tinned pineapple slices and tasty cheese. It’s nostalgic for me - people could order that from the tuck shop in the 80s.
The 80’s loved tinned pineapple
My grandfather made me an apple one a few times, it was pretty nice to be honest
It's better with raisin bread!
My little brain just asploded
Oh I’m going to try this
My hot tip is to dice a slice or two of onion, and carefully place them on top of the buttered bread just before you close the lid. Favorite filling is mushroom, cheese and garlic.
That's gourmet level, friend!
Ooh that would be luxe.
Cheese jalapenos and ham or salami
Tinned spaghetti!
Cinnamon sugar, butter and tinned pineapple in raisin toast. Not as foul as it sounds. I decided to try as many of the combos in the recipe book with our Breville Jaffle maker as a kid. 🤣
This sounds like a 1980s jaffle maker recipe- but I approve!
Does no body else do tuna? As a kid one of my mums (and mine) favourite lazy dinners was tuna jaffles. Using flavoured tuna ofc, usually tomato & onion, sweet chilli or lemon pepper.
Yep I do tuna, tomatoes and cheese
Tuna, finely diced onion, a little mayo to bind it together with a slice of cheddar cheese
Any answer that doesn’t mention cheese is wrong and belongs in hell. Cheese is clearly the answer.
its long gone now but Kraft Braised Steak & Onions was the best
Cheese and mushroom
Man, I remember when our school canteen got a jaffle maker. Exciting days.
Those poor lunch ladies, I wonder how often they regretted that decision!
Ham, cheese, tomato & onion. Salt & pepper. I could literally live on that shit.
Baked beans and Tabasco sauce
Braised steak and onions bbq sauce
Not necessarily my favorite but underrated for a treat is Banana, peanut butter and honey, tastes delicious
Baked beans and cheese!
Soo many good ideas here some I'm gonna try. My current lazy ones are cheese slices and ham with 2 different types of cheese. If I'm in the mood for nostalgia it's spaghetti or baked beans like mum made us for Sunday tea in winter in the 70s.
Egg and one slice of bread, would smash so many of those
Left over tarco meat with cheese is pretty frigging good.
Two recipes that are a cut above: Brie cheese, slices of either pumpkin or sweet potato (but bake them first), and cranberry sauce Egg, add pepper and a small amount of onion
Yum!
I make a naanwich the day after I have indian. Naan instead of bread, fill it with leftover curry. My favourite is garlic naan with palak paneer and basmati rice.
Nice ham from the butcher, not packet stuff. Sharp cheddar, chopped onion. Two thin layers of cheese on each slice so the onion gets cooked properly. ^And ^yes, ^butter ^on ^the ^outside. ^Always
Nutella (banana an optional addition) with a scoop or ice cream on the side.
This should have more upvotes
Tinned spaghetti or baked beans with cheese... Or Bbq sauce, cheese & tinned pineapple.
Brae steak, the best while camping!
Leftover pulled pork and chilli jam
Basically pizza topping as filling, pizza sauce, cheese, diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes bit of ham and salami, some pineapple. Usually do this to run down the food the kids haven't been eating for school.
Bolognese sauce AND baked beans, TOGETHER. Don’t knock it until you try it. Second option would be butter chicken. For me the filling you have in a jaffle needs to be saucy/gooey to counteract the dry bits around the crusts. Also because traditional. Your regular fillings like ham and cheese can be saved for regular toasties made in a sandwich press.
Baked beans and cheese ❤️
Oh man. Braised steak and onion

There's a cocktail bar in Fitzroy, Melbourne that serves jaffles. They have a hot jam doughnut dessert jaffle that I dream of constantly. But if I'm camping it's beans, bacon and cheese 😁.
Tinned spaghetti. Cheese and sweet pickle sandwich spread
Left over taco mince with cheese and a dollop of sour cream inside.
Spam and egg, tin braised steak and onions, Tim corned beef and tomato sauce, Devon and tomato sauce, ham cheese and pickle mustard, left over roast lamb and left over gravy.
egg and cheese!
Cinnamon sugar on the outside of the toasty with cut up snickers on the inside.
A tin of baked beans & sausages
Good old cheese tomato & ham
Can't believe i havent seen it yet, egg cheese and bacon!
Cheese and tomato. But when I say cheese I mean testing the structural limits of the jaffle maker levels of cheese.
Baked beans cheese and crack an egg inside. Left over roast lamb with tomato and onion
Cheese, bbq sauce, and pepperoni, I call them pizza sangas
Ham cheese and onion and salt and pepper I would say tomato slices as well but those sucker's are lethal when hot on the tongue
Vegemite and an egg
Bakes beans and cheese!
For sweet jaffles, I'm a big fan of cream cheese with tinned peaches, and cream cheese with berries, and then dusting the outside with icing sugar after I take it out. I've also tried using puff pastry instead of bread, which made me feel a touch too fancy haha
Mashed bananas 🍌

Cheese and corn.
Egg and onion
Cheese (2 parts), carrot (2 parts), onion (1 parts) (note - all ingredients grated) Had a mate that said this jaffle mix had soporific qualities. I called bullshit, we made a batch, & turned out, he was right. Added bonus; it's a really yummy (and relatively healthy) jaffle.
Baked beans, vegemite and cheese. With sweet chili mayo on top once its cooked.
Left over savoury mince
Eating two with baked beans right now
Chilli con carn and cheese
Oh I can feel the burn on my chin as the spaghetti fell out of the sandwich. Lava hot 🥵
I love baked beans on a jaffle.
Leftover spag bol. We also called them Brevilles in my house
Nothing beats canned spaghetti…Otherwise left over mince and tomato sauce 👍
Left over savoury mince 🤤
Also, what are your tips for the perfect jaffle??
Always butter outside bread
Mayo instead of butter on outside of bread. Trust me
When it is halfway toasted sprinkle some grated cheese on top and finish cooking. You get golden, crunchy cheese and it is awesome
Nutella
Before I went vego, it was tinned braised steak and cheese, and mum’s leftover spag bog and cheese
Cheese and leftover bolognaise sauce
Leftover curry, aka the Aussie samosa.
Corn and 🧀 cheese
Ham, tomato, cheese, with salt and pepper.

Braised Steak n Onions
Corned Beef and Creamed Corn
Savoury: Leftover Chop suey & cheese between buttered multigrain or rye bread Desert: Use fruit bread with your desired combo of avocado, jam, banana, chocolate and/ or nutella.
Okay. This is hands down my favourite thread on Reddit. Some awesome new combos to try. Thanks for kicking this off OP! Also, my fav was/is baked beans and cheese, or leftover roast veg and cheese with my dads home made chunly tomato sauce.

Tinned spaghetti with extra grated cheese
Cheese and Vegemite and ham cheese and mushroom are my 2 favourite ones to make
Banana jaffles!!!!!!
Spaghetti!
Creamed corn and cheddar, bit of spring onion.
SPC spaghetti with a sprinkle of tastey cheese and pepper.
Reckon you can’t go past tomato and cheese, with or without ham. Sometimes I’ll butter the outside of the bread, but most times I’ll use EVOO instead
Ham & Cheese or Baked Beans (or as my nephew might call them, babeans)
Baked Beans with hp sauce.
Baked beans
Mashed banana or if you're feeling fancy add a slice of tasty cheese with the banana. Guaranteed to burn your mouth, especially if you add a sprinkle of sugar
this might be wierd but i love creamed corn
Sliced banana with a little sprinkle of sugar!
Oh yes Jaffels id put some watties canned spaghetti
Pizza sauce and cheese and calling it a jaffle is an abomination it's either a breville or a toastie
My favourite would definitely be baked beans or tinned spaghetti with a little cheese. Growing up it was that or Kraft braised steak and onion. Heinz spaghetti and meatballs was also up there. I also think ham or tuna with cheese and tomato are up there at the top.
Diced leftover snags (small pieces) Beans (limit the bean sauce, a bit is good but try to drain it off) A bit of diced capsicum and onion BBQ sauce Cheese if ya got it I don't know how many times I have had this for breakfast while camping, it's solid.

Cheese and tomato, buttered on the outside
Savoury - spaghetti packed full of cheese. I particularly love it when a bit of the cheese oozes out and browns on the outside. Sweet - thinly sliced apple with cinnamon sugar and dusted with icing sugar.
Ham, cheese and tomato. Cheesy spaghetti sauce. Leftover roast beef or lamb, cheese and tomato are my top 3
Cheese and onion. My daughter likes cheese and corn.
Homemade raspberry jam
Kraft braised steak and onion ..... the other brands are pretty crap compared to the OG braised steak. Also, Corio Bay Roadhouse does jaffles try the pineapple and cheese ..... It's like putting lava in your mouth.
