    It contains great simple recipes which are fast and varied enough to get a lot of mileage out of this little book. There is nothing particularly exciting but it is a good general Mexican cookbook and very small so it doesn’t take up much space.

Helpful Hints & Facts

1. Toaster ovens have come a very long way in the last few years. They are versatile, handy, quick, and economical.

2. Toaster ovens heat up much more quickly than full-sized ovens and cook more efficiently. They have many different settings such as toast, defrost, broil, bake, and convection bake—just to name a few.

3. Toaster ovens take up very little space and are easy to clean (many have crumb trays that slide out). They also use less energy and don’t heat up the entire kitchen.

4. Use the front window on a toaster oven for close monitoring of cooking food without opening the door and losing heat.

5. The little ovens are portable and can be moved around the kitchen to a space convenient for whatever you are cooking.

6. The toast feature allows for even browning on both sides of food, compared to conventional ovens that can only broil from the top.

7. The recipes in this book were created using a 6-slice capacity toaster oven. Most recipes use baking pans, but a few call for placing the item to be cooked directly on the wire rack in the toaster oven.

8. It is helpful to have a variety of pans to use in the toaster oven. The recipes in this book may require a 6-cup muffin pan; mini muffin pan; 8 x 11-inch baking sheet; 9-inch square baking pan; 9-inch pie pan; oval 2-1/2-quart casserole dish; or 8- to 10-ounce ramekins.

Appetizers

Pizza Bites

Turn toaster oven to toast on darkest setting.

Separate 3 biscuits into layers, making 6 thin circles from each biscuit. Save remaining biscuits for another use. Bake the dough circles in a single layer in two batches on a baking sheet until golden brown and toasty. Watch carefully so as not to burn.

In a bowl, whisk together the marinara sauce and tomato paste. Spread 1 tablespoon sauce mixture on each toasted circle. Top with pepperoni and cheeses. Return to oven and toast until cheeses are melted and sauce is bubbly. Serve warm. Makes 18 appetizers.

Baked Brie in a Bread Crust

Turn toaster oven to 375 degrees.

Stir jam, berries, and thyme in small bowl to blend. Lay sheet of pastry on lightly floured surface and roll out to a 12-inch square. Cut top rind off cheese; discard rind. Place cheese, cut side up, in center of pastry and spread raspberry mixture on cheese. Fold pastry corners up over cheese. Brush pastry with egg wash and then press seams together to seal.

Bake on a baking sheet for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool 15 minutes. Place baked cheese on a serving platter. Serve with crackers and toasted baguette slices. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Turn toaster oven to convection bake at 350 degrees (or bake at 375 degrees).

Drain artichoke hearts, reserving 1/4 cup liquid. Dice artichoke hearts and remove any
