The perfect deep-fill toastie: tips and filling ideas for the Breville VST082

A toastie is the ultimate quick lunch, and a deep-fill maker lets you pack in more filling without it squeezing out. The Breville Ultimate Deep Fill Toastie Maker VST082 makes two sealed triangle toasties at a time, and its plates come out for washing.

At a glance

  • Extra deep-fill plates for generous fillings
  • Cut-and-seal triangle shape
  • Removable non-stick plates, dishwasher safe
  • 850 W with power and ready lights
  • Cool-touch locking handle
  • Stores upright with cord storage

How to make a great toastie

  1. Close the maker and let it heat until the ready light comes on.
  2. Butter the outside of the bread thinly, right to the edges, for a golden crust.
  3. Place one slice butter-side down, add your filling in the middle and top with the second slice, butter-side up.
  4. Close and lock the lid and cook for a few minutes until golden.
  5. Let it rest for a minute. The filling will be very hot.

6 filling ideas

  • Cheddar and onion, the classic
  • Ham, cheese and a little mustard
  • Tuna, sweetcorn and mozzarella
  • Leftover chilli with grated cheese
  • Mushroom, spinach and garlic soft cheese
  • Banana, peanut butter and a drizzle of honey

Stop leaks

Keep fillings away from the edges so the seal can form, and don't overfill wet fillings. Use medium-sliced bread that covers the plates fully.

Frequently asked questions

How do I clean it?

Let it cool fully, then remove the plates and wash them by hand or in the dishwasher.

Can I use thick bread?

Medium sliced bread usually seals best. Very thick bread can stop the lid closing properly.
