An appliance for making a hollow toasted bread food product, the appliance comprising:
- a pair of opposed parts which are hingedly connected along one side such that opposed heating surfaces can, in use, be folded onto each other;
- a heating element in heat communication with each of the opposed heating surfaces;
- a hollow formed in one or each of the opposed heating surfaces and defining a respective edge along each of the opposed heating surfaces, such that a cavity is formed when the opposed parts are folded closed onto each other;
- wherein opposed edges of each hollow are proximate each other when closed;
- an inside mould having an outer surface which is complementary and smaller than an inner surface of the cavity to accommodate, in use, two bread slices to be toasted and shaped, and wherein edges of the two bread slices are bonded to each other with a defined hollow between the two bread slices;
