Our 8th birthday is on the 18th, and we’d like you to propose a toastie!🥂
Whether you’ve got a tried and tested toastie recipe that you want to share with the world, you’re a Michelin starred chef specialising in toasties or there’s just something you’ve always wanted to cover in cheese and put between two slices of bread, we want to hear from you 🫵
Fill in the form (link in bio) with the recipe for your dream toastie (up to 3 ingredients) and we will serve up our favourite in the pub, for one day only, on Sunday 19th April!
Rules:
- 3 ingredients or less.
- We don’t have a kitchen, so keep ingredients simple please (think things we can buy ready-to-use on the high street!)
- The winner doesn’t get to cook any toasties at the pub - providing the many years of study required at our remote mountain toastie dojo would be impractical
- The judges ruling is final👩⚖️
- Don’t comment or DM entries, I can’t be bothered to keep track of them all. Enter using the link in bio please
