FAQ’s

What is an Australian jaffle? 

An Australian jaffle is like a cross between a toasted sandwich and a pizza pocket. Made in a sandwich press that seals the edges, jaffles can be filled with anything from canned spaghetti to eggs, to tomatoes, to tuna or your favourite meat. You can also add a can of baked beans like this recipe! One thing that’s mandatory though – melty cheese to bring it all together!

What’s the difference between a toastie and a jaffle?

The difference between a toastie and a jaffle is how they’re made. A toastie is usually made with a flat sandwich press to squash it down flat, while a jaffle is toasted in a jaffle iron, which has grooves that cut the sandwich in two, as well as sealing the edges. This results in a toasted sandwich that’s bursting with flavour and crunch.

Is jaffle an Australian word? 

Yes, jaffle is an Australian word, originating in Bondi when Dr Ernest Smithers created the first patented jaffle maker in the 1970’s. It caught on as a lunch favourite, and became a common staple in Aussie homes.
