Savoury Snacks




I had a couple of lovely readers ask about these snack baskets I made in the weekend for the kids in this post.

They are super easy to make and you only need a few ingredients.  I had a nearly whole loaf of bread that needed to be used up, so these are perfect for this.

What you need:

Bread slices
Onion
Bacon
Tinned spaghetti (or you could use baked beans)
Grated cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

Dice onion and roughly chop the bacon.
Quickly fry in olive oil
In a bowl place your tinned spaghetti and add the cooked onion and bacon
Add salt and pepper to taste
Mix well

Remove crusts from bread and press down into a muffin tray
Spoon in the yummy spag/onion/bacon filling
Sprinkle with grated cheese

I baked these in the oven (Bake/180 deg) until the bread is golden brown and the cheese was bubbling.





 Enjoy!

  3. Made these after I saw your post the other day for the kids and they ate them all! Which is amazing as my littlies don't usually eat much. I sprinkled a little bit of basil on and added Cajun spice to mine, yum. Thanks for the idea!

  11. Thanks for sharing this! I wanted to know more about them too.

    Snack baskets is a great name for them. I make something similar for breakfast where you put egg and bacon and cheese sauce into the bread baskets and bake - they are totally lush! Yours sound quicker and easier though - my ones are a faff. x
