The Classic Toas-Tite “Hot Pocket” Sandwich
If you’ve ever wished for a fresher, flakier, and more flavorful hot pocket, this easy recipe is your answer. Using the Toas-Tite hot pocket maker, you can create your own homemade hot pocket in just a few minutes — golden on the outside, perfectly melted inside, and made exactly how you like it.
Ingredients for the Perfect Hot Pocket
- 2 slices of sandwich bread (white, wheat, or sourdough)
- 1 tablespoon butter or spray oil (for crisp edges)
- 2 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara
- 6 slices pepperoni or cooked sausage
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional add-ins: chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or olives
Step-by-Step: How to Use the Hot Pocket Pie Iron
- Spray cooking spray in each side of the pie iron
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice — this will help your homemade hot pocket crisp up beautifully. - Assemble your hot pocket.
Place one slice of bread (butter side down) in the open Toas-Tite hot pocket maker. Spread on pizza sauce, add cheese, pepperoni, and any extras. Top with the second slice of bread (butter side up). - Seal and toast.
Close the Toas-Tite pie iron, trim off excess bread if needed, and latch it shut. Hold over medium heat on the stovetop, grill, or campfire for 3–5 minutes per side — until golden brown and melty inside. - Cool slightly & enjoy!
Carefully open the hot pocket pie iron and let your homemade hot pocket cool for a minute before biting in. The inside will be piping hot (and delicious!).
