Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026

Flavour: The sun-dried tomato paste was rich and flavourful, though some found it too strong or salty.
Ease of prep: Grilling the toasties proved tricky for some, requiring careful attention during cooking.
Suggestions: Consider adding fresh tomato slices inside the toastie to balance the intense sun-dried tomato flavour.
Kid-friendly: While some children loved it, others found the sun-dried tomato taste too strong; a milder option could appeal more.
