HockeyLover said:Oh, good call. Geez, I didn't even realize we don't sell the bread tubes anymore!
Thanks all!
LOL - yeah - I was bummed out when they d/c them. I used to ask each host to buy a tube of Pillsbury French Loaf. And I would unroll it, sprinkle it w/cinn & sugar...and bake it before the guests arrived so that as they were arriving the ycould smell it. I would sell bread tubes like crazy that way - easy little $6 add-on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I bake the Tex Mex Chicken Melts before the show or on-site?
It depends on your preference and the logistics of your show. Baking on-site allows guests to see the cooking process and engage with the demonstration, while baking beforehand can save time and ensure everything is ready for tasting.
What are the benefits of baking the Tex Mex Chicken Melts on-site?
Baking on-site creates an interactive experience for your guests. They can ask questions, see the products in action, and enjoy the aroma of fresh cooking, which can enhance their overall experience and make them more likely to purchase.
Are there any downsides to baking the Tex Mex Chicken Melts on-site?
Yes, baking on-site can take more time and may require careful planning to ensure that everything is ready for tasting when guests arrive. Additionally, you may need to manage the cooking process while also engaging with guests, which can be challenging.
If I bake the Tex Mex Chicken Melts beforehand, how should I store them?
If you choose to bake them beforehand, allow the melts to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave just before serving to ensure they are warm and delicious.
How can I ensure the Tex Mex Chicken Melts stay fresh if made ahead of time?
To keep the Tex Mex Chicken Melts fresh, store them in the refrigerator and consume them within 2-3 days. Reheating them in the oven rather than the microwave can help maintain their texture and flavor, making them more appealing to your guests.
