Probably stupid question, but would the conventional oven settings be the same for a toaster oven? This would be a great after school snack or weekend lunch for my kids, but we don't let them use the oven if we aren't home.

Sandystrem says
Love the recipe. The next time I will bake the toast a couple of minutes first in the Air Fryer as my husband thought them too soft/soggy in the middle. But delicious!
Kim RN says
I had to add extra cooking time so the toast wouldn't be soggy. I wonder if it would be better to set the oven temp to the setting suggested on the box as if you were making the toast by itself? Tasty recipe, though!
Maria Smith says

Garlic is a natural antiseptic that has several medicinal purposes. This herb is a good natural remedy for cough or cold. Moreover, it is ideal for those with rheumatism, as garlic soothes the nerves and muscles. You can eat it raw by grating it and mixing it with honey. This garlic-honey mixture is truly potent in treating several respiratory ailments.
