2. Baked french toast

Brighten up your mornings with one of the easiest french toast oven toaster recipes that will only take five minutes of your time. Grab a bowl and mix in ½ cup of milk with ½ a teaspoon of vanilla extract and cinnamon. Soak your bread in the mixture thoroughly. Once that’s done, all you have to do is put it in your oven toaster tray and let it bake for 25 minutes! 

3. Frittata

Frittata is an easy dish to cook, to begin with. Surprisingly, it can get easier to make! All you need are a couple of ingredients, a casserole that fits your oven toaster, and the oven toaster itself. Frittatas make a great breakfast meal because they are packed with protein and vegetables. Plus, you can customize it too to your liking! Whisk the eggs and slices of your preferred vegetables together. You can use tomatoes and even spinach! Once all ingredients are properly combined, sprinkle in some salt and pepper for added seasoning. Pour your mixture into your casserole and bake it in the oven toaster until it puffs up and has brown edges.

5. Bacon

A savory piece of bacon definitely puts the “good” in “good morning”. Whether you like your bacon crispy or soft, your oven toaster can help you cook the bacon of your dreams. This is also a healthier alternative to frying bacon on your frying pan. That’s because, with your oven toaster’s non-stick tray, you don’t need oil! Lay out strips of bacon on your tray but make sure that there’s space in between each one so they can cook evenly. In just a couple of minutes in the oven toaster, you’ll get your bacon in no time!

1. Pizza

Say goodbye to having pizza delivered and make your very own instead! Here’s to looking forward to those lunch breaks thanks to one of the easiest oven toaster recipes. With this dish, you don’t even have to make anything from scratch! Simply buy a pizza crust and just cut it up into a size that will fit in your oven toaster. Layer in pizza sauce and your toppings of choice like cheese and pepperoni. Take the healthier route by adding veggie toppings like spinach instead! 

2. Miso-Glazed Salmon

When we think of a salmon dish, we probably immediately think of fine dining! Make this fancy dish at home with ease, thanks to your oven toaster. In a bowl, mix together  ¼ cup red or white miso, ⅓ cup sake, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and ¼ cup sugar. Put your pieces of salmon in the bowl and make sure that each piece is evenly coated by the marinade. Store it in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Prepare your oven toaster tray by covering it with aluminum foil. Once you’re done marinating, carefully place your salmon on the tray (skin side up if you want a crispy salmon skin). Then bake it in the oven toaster for 5 minutes! Add in some roasted asparagus too to complete the meal.

3. Quesadilla

Looking for more lunch oven toaster recipes that are easy to make? Make a quesadilla for lunch! The great thing about quesadilla is you have free rein as to what flavor and ingredients you want to go for. Chicken quesadilla, veggie quesadilla – you name it, you can definitely make it. And with much ease, too! Let your imagination and creativity go wild. Experiment with other flavors too, not just Tex-Mex ones! Grab a tortilla and your fillings of choice. If you and your diet don’t mind a bit of cheese, make sure to add some in there! 

4. Toasted tofu

If you think tofu isn’t your cup of tea, you’ll now find yourself thinking twice about that! Toasted tofu is incredibly delicious despite only requiring three ingredients. Baking or toasting tofu in an oven toaster is much better than pan-frying it for a handful of reasons! One being, if you pan-fry your tofu, it sticks to the pan so it’s hard to get crispy tofu. On top of that, pan-frying your tofu requires more oil as compared to baking it which only requires a baking sheet! Drain your tofu and make it as dry as possible. Then, cut it into pieces. Once that’s done, coat your tofu with 1 tablespoon each of vegetable oil, soy sauce, and cornstarch.  You can have this as is, as a side dish, or even as toppings! 

5. Sausage

Pan-frying is not the only way to cook sausages! Yes, you’ve got that one right – you can cook sausages in your oven toaster too! When frying sausages, it can be quite a battle between you and the spattering oil. With an oven toaster, you won’t have to deal with that anymore. Place your sausages on a bed of veggies like strips of bell pepper or green beans, leave it in your oven toaster to cook, and you’re all set! Just make sure to flip your sausage in between baking so that all sides are evenly cooked. 

Snack

1. Cookies

Baking in a toaster oven is as easy as can be! Treat yourself to some rich and chewy chocolate chip cookies with the help of this recipe. In a bowl, mix 1 ½ tablespoon of softened butter with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Once these two ingredients are properly combined, add an egg yolk and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, ¼  cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of baking cocoa, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt will do the trick. Combine this with your first bowl with butter. Put a baking sheet to prevent your cookies from sticking. Scoop out your cookie dough and form it into balls. Then, place it on your tray. If you want cookies with crispy edges, you can flatten your cookie dough! This recipe may be daunting but it’s one of the most delicious oven toaster recipes! 

2. Cinnamon toast

Cinnamon toast can double as a snack or a breakfast meal! Whichever time of day you choose to eat it, you definitely deserve to treat yourself to one! Adults and kids alike love cinnamon so you can never go wrong with this simple yet tasty snack. All it takes is 1 tablespoon of softened salted butter and granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and orange zest, and ⅛  teaspoon of vanilla extract. Orange zest is optional so don’t fret if you don’t have it in your kitchen. It adds some freshness to the recipe and balances out the sweetness from the sugar and cinnamon. When you’re done preparing your mixture, spread it on your slices of bread. Then, put your slices of bread in your oven toaster. Once your sugar is caramelized and your bread is brown, that’s when you know that your toast is all done. 

3. Mac and cheese

Making mac and cheese only gets easier, thanks to your handy oven toaster! It’s every little kids’ dream snack, and adults too! You can buy a ready-made mac and cheese pack and bake it in your oven toaster. Doing so will give you crispy cheese edges and it’s a quicker way to get your mac and cheese ready in no time! Making it from scratch is a great option too. Although it requires an added step of boiling your elbow macaroni in boiling water, making the sauce and combining the two is as easy as a breeze. Mix ½ cup of spaghetti sauce, 1 cup of fresh milk, ¼  cup butter, and ¼ cup of melted butter in a bowl. In a casserole, put your macaroni and pour your sauce until every single macaroni is covered. Top it off with some shredded quick melting cheese! 

4. Pizza toast

Here’s another dish that you can make on your oven toaster for snacks or even for breakfast! If eating pizza isn’t as thrilling for you anymore, make this pizza toast instead. It’s the perfect balance between trying out something new and indulging yourself in familiar flavors. This recipe calls for only four ingredients: slices of bread, 6 tablespoons of pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. Make sure to put pizza sauce first on your slices of bread before adding on your toppings! You’ll know your pizza toast is ready when the cheese melts and the bread starts to look brown and crispy! 

5. Parmesan crisps

We all love chips! If you want to put a twist to your usual chips, try out these parmesan crisps that have the same crunch to them. This is another oven toaster recipe that you’ll find yourself making over and over! This is, by far, the easiest of all! Make sure to place a baking sheet on your oven toaster tray to ensure that your parmesan crisps won’t stick to the tray. Shred some parmesan cheese and place a tablespoon of the shredded parmesan on your tray. Fill the tray and leave at least an inch between each pile of parmesan cheese. Let it bake in your oven toaster until your cheese starts to melt and bubble. Once you see that happening, remove your tray and sprinkle some pepper flakes on top of your parmesan crisps. Put your tray back in and let it cook until the crips turn golden.
