- Dessert option
- Picnic item
To prepare, place the pastry in a toaster set to a low or medium setting. Toast for one to two cycles, depending on your toaster's heat and your desired level of crispness. Be careful not to over-toast, as the filling can become very hot and the crust can burn. Some people also enjoy them warmed slightly in an oven or microwave, though toasting is the most common method. They are best served warm.

Compared to other breakfast pastries, these are specifically designed for toasting, which creates a distinct crispy exterior. The filling is usually a smooth paste rather than chunks of fruit, and the frosting adds an extra layer of sweetness. Their convenience and shelf stability also set them apart.
