They toast up in minutes, and the pita keeps all the ingredients in place. So whether you're strapped for time in the morning, cooking in a tiny kitchen, or simply trying to please a picky eater, toaster pockets are the perfect solution.

And making them couldn't be easier:

Jutst cut the top off a mini pita, then fill it with your favorite ingredients such as cheese, meats, or veggies.

But don't overfill them ― you want to make sure they fit in the toaster without getting stuck.

Then just cook them in the toaster, cut side up.

Our toaster had ten heat levels and found that level five (medium heat) was the perfect setting.

And voila! Perfectly toasted pita pockets with a warm and melty center.
