Sandwiches - Hot sandwiches by Diana B. - Recipia

There are days when I need something quick and warm, without spending too much time in the kitchen. These wraps with cheese, green onions, and cherry tomatoes are among my favorites. I make them when I have leftover wraps and small cherry tomatoes, either from the market or the fridge. I place them on a tray, add everything I need, and put them in the oven just enough for the cheese to melt and the edges to get a little color. Nothing is left at the end. Quick Info Total time: about 15-20 minutes Preparation time: 5-7 minutes Cooking time: 8-10 minutes (depending on the oven) Servings: 3-4, depending on the size of the wraps Difficulty: very easy Recipe type: warm snack or quick lunch Ingredients 3-4 wraps (plain, not too thick) 3-4 slices of Delaco cheese (one for each wrap) 2-3 sprigs of cherry tomatoes (left whole or cut, according to preference) 1-2 green onions salt, to taste black pepper, to taste basil (fresh or dried, sprinkled at the end) Preparation method 1. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature (180-200°C). I lay baking paper on the tray to prevent the wraps from sticking. 2. I place the wraps on the tray, side by side, without overlapping. 3. On each wrap, I put a slice of Delaco cheese, large enough to cover the center. 4. I wash and clean the green onions, then chop them finely. I sprinkle them over the cheese, without overdoing it. 5. I wash the cherry tomatoes and pluck them from the sprig. If they are very small, I leave them whole; if they are larger, I cut them in half. I place them over the layer of onions. 6. I sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, without exaggerating (the cheese is already quite salty). 7. I put the tray in the oven and leave it for 8-10 minutes, just enough for the cheese to melt and the wrap to get a slight crust on the edges. If I use the ventilation function, I make sure not to dry out the wraps too much. 8. I take the tray out, immediately sprinkle a little basil. If I have fresh, I tear a few leaves; otherwise, I use dried. 9. I serve immediately while they are warm. Why I make this recipe often I like to make these sandwiches because they are quick to prepare and I don't need complicated ingredients. The cherry tomatoes add a tangy and fresh flavor, and the cheese melts beautifully. It's perfect for quick lunches or snacks. Tips and variations Tips I don’t put too much green onion, so it doesn’t overpower the cheese flavor. If the wraps are very thin, I leave them in the oven a little less to avoid them becoming completely crispy. It’s important to add the basil after taking the tray out of the oven, not before. Substitutions I can use any sliced cheese, not just Delaco, as long as it melts well. Green onions can be replaced with a little very finely sliced red onion. Variations If I want something heartier, I can put two slices of cheese on each wrap. The cherry tomatoes can be sliced for a flatter appearance. I can also add other herbs if I have them on hand. Serving ideas I usually serve them plain, immediately after taking them out of the oven. They can be cut into triangles if I want to put them on a plate as an appetizer. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use store-bought wraps? Yes, store-bought ones are fine. If they are too big, I can cut them in half. 2. Can they be prepared in advance? I don’t recommend it because the wraps harden if they sit and don’t taste fresh anymore. 3. What other cheese can I use? A cheese that melts easily works best. I can try sliced mozzarella, but the taste will be slightly different. 4. Do the tomatoes have to be cherry? In this recipe, cherry tomatoes bring that specific taste, but if needed, I can use regular tomatoes cut into small cubes. Nutritional values Approximately, for one serving: 250-300 kcal. Most of the calories come from cheese and the wrap. About 12-15g protein, 10-15g fat (depending on the type of cheese), 25-30g carbohydrates. Values can vary quite a bit, depending on the size of the wraps and slices of cheese. Storage and reheating These sandwiches do not store well; the wraps harden and lose their texture. They should be consumed immediately while warm. If there are leftovers, they can be quickly reheated in the oven for a few minutes, but they won’t be as good as fresh.
