Ingredients
- 1 frozen Hot Pocket
Instructions
- Preheat your toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your Hot Pocket cooks evenly and gets a nice crispy texture.
- While the toaster oven is preheating, remove the frozen Hot Pocket from its packaging. Be sure to take off any plastic wrapping that may be around it.
- Place the Hot Pocket on a baking tray or directly on the toaster oven rack. If you prefer a crispier bottom, using a baking tray is recommended.
- Once the toaster oven has reached the desired temperature, carefully place the tray with the Hot Pocket inside the oven.
- Set a timer for 15 minutes. This will allow the Hot Pocket to heat thoroughly and achieve a golden-brown crust.
- About halfway through the cooking time, around the 7-minute mark, check on the Hot Pocket. If you like, you can flip it over to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- When the timer goes off, carefully remove the Hot Pocket from the toaster oven using oven mitts, as the tray will be hot.
- Let the Hot Pocket cool for a minute or two before biting into it. This will help prevent burns from the hot filling inside.
- Enjoy your delicious, crispy Hot Pocket as a quick meal or snack!
