flatbread melts Frozen sandwiches are always an iffy deal. They either come out really hard and crunchy (especially if you cook them too long) or they come out all limp and lame. And often the meats and cheeses inside leave a lot to be desired.

But now I've found new Lean Cuisine Flatbread Melts, and they're approximately 300 times better than you think they're going to be. They are sooooo good. The flatbread is actually soft enough without being limp (you can fold it and it retains its structure) and they taste really, really good.

I was buying the Lean Cuisine Panini Sandwiches for a while (really, I'm not lazy, I just like to keep these in my fridge), and they're OK I guess, but these flatbread melts are the best frozen sandwiches I've ever had. They come in four flavors: Chicken Ranch Club, Chicken Philly, Chophouse Steak, and Pesto Chicken.

The Chicken Philly one is very good. I was surprised I liked it since it smelled a little weird coming out of the microwave. Very tasty though.

I didn't like the Chophouse Steak one at all...I had a few bites and threw the rest away. The Chicken Ranch one was not bad, though.

I had one once. It didn't make me hurl. That's pretty damn good for something of that nature.

Just the term "frozen sammiches" is giving me the heebie-jeebies.

Trader Joe's makes some really good frozen sandwiches. I had their Chicken Provolone Panini last week for lunches and it was ridiculously delicious, for being a frozen sandwich.

(The trick to frozen sandwiches with real bread? Nuke 'em a bit to get the frost off, then finish them in the toaster oven. Crispy deliciousness ensues!)

I always find it amusing and weird when Slashfood features things like this. Because, well, this isn't food. I don't think it's actually wise to put that in your body. You couldn't pay me to eat Lean Cuisine. I'll give you Trader Joe's, though, usually. If you look at the ingredients in their frozen foods they are, most often, things you can actually recognize.

how is the portion size? i feel like regular lean cuisines don't fill me up that much.
