To prepare, simply place the pastry into the slots of a toaster or toaster oven. Set the toaster to a medium setting. Toast until the pastry is warm and the outer crust is lightly browned. Be careful not to over-toast, as the filling can become very hot and may leak. Some people prefer to heat them in a conventional oven or microwave, though toasting is the most common method. Allow it to cool slightly before consuming.
