Review: Lean Cuisine Flatbread Melts

flatbread meltsFrozen 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.

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

(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 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.
