What’s a herbie gerbie? 

The herbie gerbie originated from country NSW in Elise’s family. Also known commonly as the "toasted sandwich" or "jaffle."
 

Why the herbie gerbie?

The Franke family has no idea how the name was born, but why not!

Elise was shocked to discover at age eighteen that no one else in the big wide world knew of the humble herbie gerbie. It’s quirky but we love ‘em.

Try out different types of bread like mountain bread, tortillas, Lebanese bread, wholegrain, hamburger bun, fruit loaf or rye bread...

No need to use margarine on the outside of the bread – it’ll be fine without it.
