Chicken and cheese on toasted bread cups
June 13, 2006
Filed under The amateur baker
So the new schoolyear begins. And it’s back to solo lunches for me. I was debating whether to have a chicken sandwich with the usual lettuce and cucumber and tomato slices when but I decided I could be more creative. If my little experiment was succesful, I could even have the kids take something similar to school for their recess snack.

It is basically a sandwich. The filling goes between two slices of toasted bread. The modification is that the bread is toasted in a muffin pan after the filling is in place. Other than that’s, it’s just a sandwich, really.
In the mood for more food?

I would like to try this… for a change.
The problem is, I don’t have an oven at home… or should I say I don’t have a WORKING OVEN at home! :/ Do you think oven toaster would do fine?
Thank you for your creative recipes. Good luck to your cookbook. A lot of us are waiting for it…
By the way, what kind of milk did you use?
Oven toaster… I think you will have to lower the temperature to avoid browing the top too fast. Milk… Alaska fresh milk.
Hi Connie-
I had a wonderful caprese sandwich for lunch today and I think you’ll enjoy it as well. I’ve had caprese (mozzarella, fresh tomatoes & basil drizzled with olive oil) before as a salad/appetizer but I found out it’s great as a sandwich too. You can use basil pesto sauce instead of fresh basil leaves. As for the mozzarella, I’m sure most supermarkets & delis have it but if you happen to be in Los Banos, drop by DTRI and check if they still make it (really good and cheap!). Here’s a link to the recipe (no recipe needed for this one actually)http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/main/sandwiches/capresesand.html
hi aggie. wow, you made me miss los baños more than ever. thanks for sandwich idea. it sounds great especially for a cheese lover like me. and thanks the link too.
hi connie, i could almost taste the sandwich, while i have to make do with office lunch, blah.i was intrigued by your entry about your trip to subic, but i can’t open it since the word “sex” causes me to be redirected to our office website. sheesh, and baduy…
hahahaha cocktail drinks, lemon. hahahaha sayang, nawala ang suspense.
really? and I thought, hmm, that’s mighty worldly.hahaha.by the way, have you tried the phad thai in a beachfront resto in subic?if memory serves me right, it’s called sheavens. The best phad thai I’ve ever had.
no… we couldn’t go around much. no time. next visit…
i wish i have a muffin pan already. i wanted to try this dish, but i cant find one here in shanghai, i’m having a hard time looking for it. hubby’s always in a hurry when shopping
it looks attractive, my 4-year-old daughter will love this!
phynkee, never go shopping with the hubby hehehehe i complain about that attitude too. husband’s always have that bored look as if silently saying, “Can you hurry up please?” But hurried shopping ain’t fun and it often makes us buy things we wouldn’t otherwise.
It was my dayoff from office yesterday… and being tired from the usual afternoon merienda, I tried this “bread cups”. However, since I don’t have much time to dwell on shredding chicken breast (and I don’t have any chicken breast on my ref anyway! Duh!), I substituted corned beef. Masarap naman daw sabi ni hubby. At least, it paid off.
Thanks for the idea.
minsan kasi, the usual sandwich gets boring eh. for a change, di ba?
Your recipe is quite similar to a food here in Taiwan. Here you can find sliced bread but thicker (equivalent to 3 slices). Then they make a crater in the middle and place the fillings inside and cover it with the some bread. Oven toasted or fried depends on your preference.
hehehe!
yah, it always happens to me… buying unwanted things and worst forgetting things what i really needed 8-| duh!
had a nice morning snack! i’ve tried this already and it’s great. (i used carnation milk - no alaska brand here in shanghai). my daughter loves it too! thanks ms. connie!
that means i have a muffin pan, already. husband’s in a good shopping mood last nyt!
uy, good for you. kids really enjoy food with interesting presentation, ano?
yeah! thanks again!
