A toaster pastry is a type of pastry designed to be safely heated in a toaster. It is a convenience food generally intended to be eaten for breakfast but is often a snack. Most toaster pastries have a fruit filling but some contain dessert-like fillings such as chocolate or cinnamon.The earliest reference to a toaster pastry can be seen as early as the 1600s when Russian housewives used open flames to create compressed pastries with fillings.
