Hot and crispy toasted fish finger sandwiches are a quick lunch; using a toaster bag means no crumbs or mess inside the toaster!

How many Fish Fingers are in a Toastie?

My preference is four – just because they fit the bread neatly. I often end up using “the last three” in a pack though, resisting opening a fresh box. How many fish fingers are in a toastie is a personal preference though – you choose!

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread per toastie
• 4 frozen fish fingers per toastie

Fish Finger Toastie Method:

1. Defrost the fish fingers in the microwave. 1 minute on high, turned them over, then a further 30 seconds or so.
2. Lightly toast the bread – deciding which sides of each slice were “lightest”.
3. Place all four defrosted fish fingers onto the darkest slice of toast and top it with the second slice, again so the darkest sides are against the fish fingers.
4. Place the fish finger toastie inside the toaster bag – you might like to give it a light squash down with your hand so it fits in the toaster slot.
5. Place the toaster bag inside the toaster and toast on a low setting until the outside of the toast is the colour you like it!

I stood and watched as the smoke poured out of the toaster, thinking “look at that moisture burning off”, then realised 🙂 It was the bread starting to get a little too brown!

Tip: Don’t daydream while cooking toasties in a toaster bag! Or any toast really. It cooked quicker than I expected, I was waiting for the toaster to pop up.

Toastie Q&A:

Q: Did you use any butter, margarine or mayo on the outside of the toast? A: No, that’s optional and I didn’t bother + it’d get mucky and I’d end up covered in it as I’m a bit clumsy.

Q: Does the toast get brown inside the bag? A: Yes, the bread does toast and go brown inside the toaster bag.
