Toaster Treats

Besides the obvious, toast, a toaster oven can be used to be a LOT of things. One that I really love to make (even at home!) is mini pizzas!

What you will need:

  • Bread (french bread works well, but the crust is flaky. Any thick cut bread will work)
  • Pizza Sauce (you can get pizza sauce at the grocery store, but simple pasta marinara sauce will be fine)
  • Cheese (shredded melts well but if you only have a block of cheese, slice it thin so it can melt properly)
Cut the french bread into desired thickness.
Spread on sauce
Sprinkle on the cheese
Put into toaster until cheese is melted. Be careful not to burn them!
ENJOY!

Another great favorite in my house is Tuna Melts!!
If you have roommates, make sure you have windows open before you cook this or ask them if its ok. My friends roommate cooked some sort of fish over a month ago, and their room STILL smells like low tide at the pier. But luckily, we aren't actually going to be COOKING anything here.

What you will need:
A can of Tuna (in water is healthier and, in my opinion, tastier)
Mayonnaise
Onion (depends how how much you want. I usually use 1/4 to 1/2 a large onion)
Celery (yet again, the amount to use depends on how much you want. I usually go for 2-3 stalks)
Cheese (any kind you want!)
Sliced bread

Open the can of tuna and drain the water. Place it into a bowl
Cut up the onion and the celery into your desired sizes (make them small!) Put into bowl with tuna.
*Hint-- Don't be afraid to add too LITTLE! You can always go back and add more of any ingredient.
Spoon in a dollop on mayonnaise and stir until the mixture is fully combined.
Spread it generously onto a slice of bread and top with desired amount of cheese.
*Hint-- smaller amounts of cheese melts better
Place into toaster oven and set to light/medium (depending on your toaster's strength and how much you like your bread toasted and cheese melted)
ENJOY!!

Until next time,
