I wanted a snack recently after coming home late from a choir rehearsal (and having skipped dinner) and remembered I had bought these "Toasta bags". They allow you to toast filled sandwiches without the filling spilling out and the packet also suggests you can toast (presumably to reheat rather than cook) fish fingers, pizza slices, french fries and even baked beans! I think I would probably draw the line at that but I did decide to use them to make a variation on a cheese toastie - a pitta pizza pocket.
Simply split a pitta bread and spread tomato puree inside.
Then fill with grated cheese - you can also add other fillings but this was a last-minute snack based on what I happened to have in the fridge.
Place the pitta into the toaster bag, and put it in the toaster
Not the best photo but you get the idea - the cheese has melted while the pitta hasn't gone soggy (like the time I made this and heated it in the microwave) and slightly toasted on the outside. I'd definitely recommend this as a snack!
as this is a cheap and cheerful snack you can make with odds and ends in the fridge.
nice and easy,filling and tasty.
ReplyDeleteI have these toaster pockets in the drawer and always forget to use them so thanks for reminding me about the and as I eat pittas every lunch time I now have something new to do with them:-) Thank you for entering Credit Crunch Munch with this quick and tasty snack:-)
