I’m a busy mum and have the best ham and cheese toastie hack – it’s so easy and kids love them
A SAVVY MUM has shared a super easy ham and cheesy hack that makes food prepping 10 times easier.
Plus there is very little mess and clean up afterwards.
Renee Norman who goes by @shemovesnz online shared her hack in a TikTok video.
The mum described the tip as ‘the ultimate time saving mess hack!’
She said: “I don’t know about your kids but mine absolutely love a good old ham and cheese toastie”
For the hack Renee prepared a whole stack of stack and cheese sandwiches.
She said: “As you’re making them you stack them back into a bread bag.”
“Then you put the bread bag in the freezer.”
Whenever Renee wants to make a ham and cheese toastie she can grab one from the bag in the freezer and pop it in a toastie maker.
She said: “Then you have got easy ham and cheese toasties that you can take out when you need a quick dinner for the kids or a quick snack.”
The mum said she even cuts them up and puts them in a thermos for her daughter’s lunch.
