The packet with the squares in were impossible to open and I had to use scissors instead.

The children really enjoyed the square plain, with houmous and with cheese.

The thins were delicious and we made them into bruschettas. Bruschetta grilled with a bit of cheese on. Yum.

When they are available to buy I am going to do them with sauted banana and chocolate spread for a treat.

From other thread (just so they are all in one place!)
DurhamDurham
The Sandwiches are called Cheese Shrimpy's. I'm going to use the wraps but it would prob work just as well with the Sandwich Thins.

Small block of Cheddar (or any other)
Cup of prawns
1 egg
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp of sour cream
2 tbsp butter
half a lemon
2 Square(ish) Wraps!!

Butter the wraps.
Mix prawns with mayo, sour cream and lemon juice.
Spread mixture on to the wraps.
Beat an egg until light and fluffy an fold in grated
cheese.
Completely cover the prawn mixture with the cheesy topping and bake for about 15-20 mins until golden brown and bubbling.

Eat straight away Grin

I made pizzas tonight with the square wraps, they were really tasty Smile

Made one vegan pizza and one ham pizza:

Vegan Pizza

Place one wrap on a baking tray, top with finely chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle a chopped garlic clove over the tomato topping. Add sliced chestnut mushrooms, sliced roasted red peppers, capers and slices of Cheezly vegan cheese. Just before cooking drizzle some extra virgin olive oil all over.

Cook at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes or until it looks done.

Ham and Cheddar Cheese Pizza

Place one wrap on a baking tray, top with finely chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle a chopped garlic clove over the tomato topping. Add slices of wafer thin ham, capers and grated cheddar cheese.Just before cooking drizzle some extra virgin olive oil all over.

Cook at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes or until it looks done.

Serve pizza with a large green salad.

I will definately make pizza using these wraps again, it is such a quick and easy meal.

Will do toasted sandwiches tomorrow with the sandwich thins - thinking of slicing them in half,and filling them with mushrooms and cheese/Cheezly vegan cheese and grilling on the George Foreman Smile

Recipe: Veggie Pizza
-Spread wrap or split thins with tomato puree or pizza sauce
-sprinkle finely chopped veg on top. We used red onion, sweet pepper, sliced garlic, mushrooms and sweetcorn
-sprinkle with cheese (we used cheddar, but think crumbled feta or torn mozzarella would be lovely)
-oven on a baking sheet @ 200* for around 15 mins

For pudding, we had Chocolate & marshmallow bites, based on the American 'S'mores' idea.

Recipe: Chocolate & Marshmallow bites
-Cut a wrap in half
-cover with a layer of chopped up chocolate, then a layer of mini marshmallows , then a sprinkling of chopped chocolate (Could prob use nutella instead)
-place other half of wrap on top and sprinkle with brown sugar
-wrap in foil and put in hot oven for around 10 mins until the filling is nice and gooey
-chop into bite size pieces and enjoy the silence whilst the children wonder why they're getting this much sugar for pudding!

*It's just dawned on me that you could probably do them in the microwave a lot quicker too!

Soup & Salad toppers:
If you pop half a wrap in the toaster is goes quite hard & crunchy, which is rather nice as a topping to add a bit of crunch to soups or salads. Like croutons, but different Smile

Ingredients: 1 egg, one wrap, pinch cinnamon, icing sugar (about a tbsp), sunflower oil.

NB one wrap made eight stars when I did this.

  1. Beat one egg and pour into a saucer
  2. Mix the icing sugar with the cinnamon
  3. Take a square(ish) wrap and a star shaped cutter.
  4. Heat the oil in a frying pan - you don't need a lot, just enough to coat the base.
  5. Cut the stars out
  6. Dip in beaten egg, then icing sugar
  7. Lay each star in the oil and turn when golden.
  8. Allow to cool for two minutes before serving to hungry toddlers who will demolish them in four minutes flat.

Ingredients - one packet of vegan nutloaf, 1 tbsp raisins, six dried apricots, cocktail stick, six square(ish) wraps

  1. Make up vegan nutloaf mix - you will note it needs more cooking than you'd think. Usually about 30 minutes. So cook it so it's ready. Leave to cool
  2. Crumble nutloaf and stir with raisins. Add 1 tblsp water (or tomato juice if so inclined).
  3. Lay out wraps
  4. Place a large tablespoon of nutloaf mix into each one in the centre.
  5. Drawn the corners up to the centre so you have a smaller square plus four triangles.
  6. Place apricot into centre and affix to corners using cocktail stick
  7. Bake in a hot oven (200) for 20 minutes to warm through.
  8. The extra water will mould the wrap to the centre and when you take it out, you can remove the cocktail stick.
  9. Serve with herb salad.

Chilli chips

Cut 2 wraps into half, then half, then half again until you have 16 squarish shapes. Cut each diagonally into chip shapes and spread on a baking sheet. Lightly mist with spray oil.

Mix half teaspoon of cumin, and half teaspoon of chilli powder (more if you like but toddler was to eat them too). Sprinkle half spice mixture on the chips and bake for 4 mins at 180degrees. Turn over, mist and use the remaining spice and cook for a fruther 4 mins.

This made enough as a side for 4 adults and 1 toddler and were very more-ish with guacamole.

Banoffee pancake

Heat 20g of butter in a pan and add 75g brown sugar, stirring until disolved. Add 150ml double cream, 2 sliced bananas and cook for a few minutes until the bananas soften and a lovely sticky caramel forms.

Meanwhile warm 2 squarish wraps sprinkled on 1 side with a small amount of brown sugar and half teaspoon of cinnamon under the grill until the sugar bubbles.

Turn the wraps over and spread with the banana mixture and roll up. There will be a little bit of caramel sauce remaining to pour over.

This was amazing!

Cheese Toasties
Spread butter/marg over one side of wraps, scatter over some grated cheese/whatever you fancy, fold in half and press down the edges which will seal it. Butter/spray with oil both sides of sandwich and either grill, put in toastie/George Foreman or you could even cook it in a dry frying pan!

This morning I did a packed lunch for my son to take out with him,using a wrap. So much easier to make than usual wraps, just butter one side, add grated cheese and wafer thin ham, a little squeeze of brown sauce all over then roll up and slice in two.

Lastly for lunch I used the last of the sandwich thins to make :

Mushroom Pockets
Slice chestnut mushrooms and lightly fry in tiny bit of olive oil. Fill sandwich thins with the mushrooms, lightly butter/sray with oil both sides of the sandwich and place back in the same frying pan used to do the mushrooms, and cook for about a minute a side. Slice and serve with a salad...they are lovely!

Blatherskite
Prawn Cocktail and Rocket on the Sandwich Thins
That doesn't need a step-by-step recipe surely?

Quesadillias on Square-ish Wraps
Lay out 1 Square-ish Wrap, spread with Tomato Salsa (I used Cool because Im a wimp DS was sharing but you could use Hot for a kick), Add a scattering of Veg (we had green, yellow and red peppers but Mushrooms, Jalapeneos and Red Onions would work too) and a good sprinkling of Cheese.
Add another Square-ish Wrap on top and press down.
Pre-heat a pan. I usually use a frying pan but it doesn't work so well for Square-ish Wraps so we used the griddle pan instead which had the advantage of adding nice stripes to the Quesadillas.
Warm till the cheese is melted.
Remove from the pan, cut into manageable pieces and serve with some sour cream for dipping.
Leave to cool for little ones as the Cheese and Salsa will be hot.
This is easily halved, just fold 1 wrap in half rather than use two.

Then my sweet tooth won over and I made....

Ice Cream Boats with the Square-ish Wraps
I cut a wrap in half, the folded the halves in half and used paperclips to hold them together.
I then opened them up to make a canoe shape, placed them on a baking tray and sprayed them with a bit of oil. The clipped wraps went in a cool oven (about 120) for 10 minutes until they were crisp and held their shape.
While they were cooking, I got DS to make me a sail.
Once cool, I filled the 'boats' with fruit. I taped the sail to a straw mast and arranged it so it stood in the middle of the boat. It was a bit wobbly, so we added strawberry laces ropes to help hold it up.
We then added Ice Cream. I've never seen DS so excited about pudding before - DH has taken him swimming now to burn off all the sugar

Not to be left out, I made myself Jam Not So Roly Poly with a Sandwich Thin
I opened a Sandwich Thin and spread one side with Jam and the other with Custard.
I put then together and sprinkled the top with a little caster sugar then put it under the grill. Once golden, I turned it over, added a little more sugar and grilled until golden again.
The Sandwich Thin worked really well for this as the little holes held the sprinkled sugar really well and the crustiness of the outside grilled nicely without going dry. The soft inside stayed soft and soaked up the filling.
It was like a Jam Roly Poly Sandwich and it was Yummy. Or at least the half I got was! DH pinched the other half
We'll definitely be making those again.

Cosy up pizza with garlic bread thins

Ingredients: (for four people)

Two square(ish) wraps
Two Sandwich thins
Cheese strings X 2
Cheddar or other nice cheese X 2 tblsp (grated)
Half an onion (diced)
Passata (four tablespoons)
Garlic paste (1/2 teaspoon)
Black pepper
Leftover chicken, beef or gammon (we used gammon and chicken)
Butter (1 tablespoon)
Origano (1/2 teaspoon)

Method:
(1) Heat oven to 200 degrees
(2) Find a baking tray big enough to take the wrap plus the thins.
(3) Spread the open side of the thins with butter (salted is best)
(4) Spread a thin layer of garlic paste over the top
(5) Sprinkle with origano (note small people may prefer you to add parsley if they are not big garlic fans yet).
(6) Place on baking tray
(7) Lay out one wrap.
(8) Cube the cheese string into thin chunks and place round the outside as if you are creating a frame
(9) Sprinkle approx 1 tbsp of the other cheese across the top of the wrap.
(10) Lay second wrap on top to cover first one (this creates a stuffed cheesy crust which is very elastic thanks to the cheese string, it also prevents the crust going to dry when cooking).
(11) Spread passata, herbs, and a little garlic on the top wrap. Add black pepper to taste.
(12) Let small people create the rest of the topping with the onion, chicken, whatever. This means they get to pick their bit and are much more likely to eat it when it's done.
(13) Cook both the pizza and the thins for ten minutes or until the meat (if you've used it) is piping hot.

Note, due to the dual layer base, once it's cooked this is a very stable pizza so you can eat it on the sofa without making a mess!

With the last of our wraps we made some of these:
Cheese, Chutney and Pepper wraps

Chargrilled peppers (1/2 a red and 1/2 a green pepper sliced in 1cm thick strips)
Sliced avocado
Green chutney
Thinly sliced cheese
Warburtons Square wraps

Layer the fillings on to a wrap and roll or fold depending on how much filling you have used.

If you have time (which my mum does) to make your own chutney the recipe is v easy

DurhamDurham's mum's Homemade Green Chutney:

Clove garlic
2 handfuls coriander
Handful of mint
1 green chilli (or 2 if you like it hot!)
Juice of half a lemon
Teaspoon sugar
Salt
Blitz in a blender to a semi-smooth paste,no cooking required!

TheSkiingGardener
Am just making a Quiche-ish Lorraine with a square wrap. Have to say I love the packaging for the wraps with the resealing strip. Brilliant in this house.

Quiche-ish Lorraine

50 ml milk
100 ml double cream
2 eggs
100g cheddar, grated
2 rashers streaky bacon
1/2 a small onion, chopped
pepper
Tomato slices

Find a dish that you can persuade the square-ish wrap to line.
Gently fry the bacon and onion until cooked and sprinkle over the square-ish wrap
Whisk together the eggs, milk, double cream and pepper and pour over the bacon and onion
Sprinkle the cheese on top
Garnish with some slices of tomato if wanted

Bake for 20 minutes at 160C or until set

My recipe is an adaptation of one from the Pioneer Woman's website

Fry a packet of lardons (or a pack of bacon cut into strips) until crispy

Hard boil 3 eggs - deshelled and roughly chopped

Grate a generous amount of cheddar cheese (about 3 handfuls)

Combine bacon, cheese and eggs together using a dollop of maisonaise, a teaspoon of mustard and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. This is to bind the mixture so you don't need too much

Cut two squarish wraps in half (purely for ease of handling - you could use them whole)

Cover generously with the bacon/cheese/egg mixture - grill for a few minutes until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.

  1. Sausage Crostini - filling from three sausages, teaspoon of crushed fennel, 100g-ish of taleggio cheese cubed.


Mix together, spread over halved Sandwich Thins, into the oven for 12 mins.

(Would work just as well with tomatoes and mozzarella for a bruschetta type thing)

  1. Cheat's Lasagne - bolognaise sauce (I always have some in the freezer), mozzarella, wraps, fresh basil.


Tear wrap to fit dish, layer of sauce, pieces of mozzarella, layer of wrap - repeat until dish full, scatter basil on top. In oven for 15 mins.

  1. Bean burritos - small tin of refried beans, 1/2 tin of three bean salad, chopped green jalapenos - as many as you can stand!, tomato salsa, creme fraiche, grated cheese.


Mix the beans together with the jalapenos, tear the wraps in half widthway - place large dollop of bean mix in the middle and roll it up. Place in an overnproof dish - when dish full cover in salsa, add creme fraiche on top and finally a sprinkling of cheese. In the oven for 15 mins.

BornToFolk
Ingredients
Marinated tofu pieces
Cucumber
Spring onion
Sweet chili dipping sauce

Method
Heat the tofu pieces in a frying pan.
Cut the cucumber and onion into matchsticks.
Put the tofu onto a squarish wrap and drizzle with a liberal amount of chili sauce.
Add the cucumber and onion, wrap up, take a photo and eat!

I did enjoy it but I think that ordinary wraps work better at wrapping. These wraps are a bit thicker, which is nice as they are more substantial but it makes them harder to wrap. I think they might work better as a hot wrap and am planning a cheese and bean hot wrap for lunch on Weds.

Tomorrow will be mozzarella pearl and antipasti open sandwiches using the sandwich thins.

all day veggie breakfast wrap


spread wrap with humous add fried mushrooms and red onions, (tomato if required) and wrap

Also we were very impressed with the thickness of the wraps and how they could survive multiple rewrapping by children and how they would be good for pizza bases.

The sandwich thins also went down well with everyone and we enjoyed using mulitiple fillings, all of which worked well including ones with coleslaw, the thins remained thin like and did not become to soggy.

Everyone enjoyed the creation they made and want us to get them again so highly recommended by us

We've just eaten the sqaurish wraps with chili instead of tortillas - was delicious.
I also covered one wrap in grated cheese and grilled it before cutting it into little squares.
