Toaster Treats for Trudy
Trudy at Elementary Chef mentioned that she loved my recipe for garlic butter so I would like to present a few more recipes that toaster oven owners can try out. Thanks for the inspiration, Trudy!
Toaster Nachos for Trudy:
Ingredients:
Tortilla chips
1 cup of grated cheese
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup of refried beans
Set the toaster oven to 350 degrees. Cook the nachos for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla chips are slightly browned. Serve with salsa and sour cream. These taste best served immediately out of the oven and I like to eat them with a huge glass of sparkling juice and soda water (or something a little spicier like cold beer or a slushy daiquiri).
Jenny’s California Toaster Sandwich
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of shredded, cooked chicken (leftover from a roast chicken or chicken breast)
1/2 avocado sliced into thin pieces
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese that you like)
A few very thin slices of red onion
1 T mayonnaise
(optional) dijon or yellow mustard to taste
2 slices of multigrain bread
(optional) sprouts (this makes it a truly Californian sandwich)
Directions:
Preheat the toaster oven to 375 degrees. Spread both slices of bread with mayonnaise and mustard (if you like….I don’t!). Arrange the shredded chicken and sliced red onion on one piece of bread and the avocado slices on the other piece of bread. Top both slices with shredded cheddar cheese. Cook the sandwich in the toaster oven for about 7-10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Put the two bread slices together carefully an cut the sandwich on the diagonal. Sprouts can be added on top of the avocado half before assembling the sandwich. Serve with pickle wedges and crispy potato chips. Enjoy!
