Toas-Tite With A Cherry On Top

Another addition to our summer fruit series! Who doesn’t love a good cherry? They’re sweet, juice, and after you’re done, you can have pit-spitting contests. Boy and I took some lovely cherries and turned them into a cherry pie Toas-Tite.

Ingredients

• 8-10 cherries (depending on size and your desire to really stuff the Toas-Tite sandwich)
• 2 slices of white bread
• Unsalted butter, softened
• Sugar to taste (optional)

Directions

1. Carefully slice all the way around each cherry with a paring knife and peel the fruit away from the stone.  It’s up to you if you’d like to do this in halves or quarters or another way!  Boy and I opted to just make one big slice around each cherry from the top of the stem, down to the bottom, and all the way back up again.
2. Butter one side of each slice of bread and get it prepped in the Toas-Tite pie iron with the buttered side facing the iron.
3. Place your cherries on top of the center of on slice of bread.  Sprinkle on some sugar if your cherries aren’t quite as sweet as you like.
   
4. Close up the Toas-Tite pie iron, trim off the excess bread, and toast away!
5. Remove the sandwich from the iron, let cool, and enjoy.
   

Notes From The Kitchen

While cherry pie isn’t the first thing I order from a menu, I would gladly pay money for a fresh cherry Toas-Tite.  It was a great dessert sandwich – not too juicy, sweet but not overly so, and it’s just a downright yummy way to eat cherries.
