Toasts have always been with us, whether you are looking for a quick breakfast during busy mornings or packing an exciting lunchbox for your kids. They are easy, healthy, and very simple to make, and the best thing about them is that you can make a toast with the ingredients of your choice. With a huge variety of toppings, the options are truly endless.
The toaster oven has made the work even easier because you can prepare more than one toast at a time. But this countertop appliance is capable of producing many more amazing meals than just a toasted sandwich. You can reheat the leftovers, cook frozen foods, and even bake in small batches. It is more energy efficient than your regular oven and can make the food crispy very quickly.

If you already have a toaster oven or are planning to buy one, here are the five best recipes you can prepare in your toaster oven:
Chicken Quesadilla
Made with whole-grain tortillas and shredded chicken, this wholesome recipe is perfect for lunch as well as dinner. Just place the chicken and chopped veggies, along with cheese and spices, in the tortilla and bake it for 5 to 10 minutes in the preheated toaster oven. Make sure to brush the oven tray and sides of the tortilla with olive oil, and you are good to go.
Blueberry Muffins
These delicious and healthy muffins can be prepared in less than half an hour. Just remember to bake in small batches. To make blueberry muffins, combine an egg, half a cup of buttermilk, some oil, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Then, in another bowl, mix 2/3 cup of wheat flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to taste. Combine both of them and add some blueberries. Grease a six-cup muffin tin, fill the batter, and bake for 20–25 minutes, and you're done. Your kids will definitely love it.
Pita Pizza
We all love eating pizza; it is one of our favourite go-to meals. But have you ever tried making it with pita bread? Your toaster oven can make mini pizzas in a bunch of different flavours at once. Preheat the toaster oven and spread your favourite sauce, cheese, and toppings over the pita bread. Bake it for 5 to 7 minutes and enjoy.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A grilled cheese sandwich is perfect for an office lunch, a late-night snack, or untimely hunger pangs. But we often struggle to prevent it from burning while making it on the stove. Then why not use a toaster oven to get the perfect sandwich? Preheat the toaster oven and spread butter and cheese on the bread. Add some toppings and cook for about four minutes. Flip it with a spatula and cook again until the second side is browned. Let it cool for a couple of minutes, then serve.
French Fries
Is there anyone who doesn’t like French fries? Absolutely none. The crispy and salty potatoes are everyone’s favourite snack. The best thing about making French fries in the toaster oven is that they will be lower in fat and calories. The recipe is also super easy and quick: just slice the potatoes lengthwise and soak them in a bowl of cold water for ten minutes. Pat, it dry and season with oil, salt, and pepper. Bake it for 25 to 30 minutes and serve hot.
Make sure you try all of them and tell us which one is your favourite.
