Monty’s Bakehouse has introduced the Snack Pack, a ‘freeze-thaw’ concept designed by its in-house chefs to “deliver fresh, great tasting, quality second serve meal solutions.”
Each Snack Pack contains Monty’s Bakehouse soft roll, which it says is co-extruded to completely envelop a generous portion of the sandwich filling. Such a design is claimed to prevent any leakage inside the box during transit or service. Also in the Pack is a moist sweet sponge.
The Snack Pack is hygienically sealed for passenger and crew reassurance, and freshly frozen in the kitchen to lock in freshness and provide a longer shelf life. The Snack Pack is thawed in the catering facility prior to being loaded on board the aircraft, ready to be served, reducing crew handling and preparation time in flight.
Each Snack Pack box is made using bio-degradable, compostable paperboard sourced from sustainably managed forests, and features a new design to differentiate the product from the existing range to aid service on flight.
The Snack Pack is currently available in four recipes:
- Farmhouse-style chicken, aromatic basil and ripe tomato in a freshly baked roll served with a zesty lemon sponge;
- Classic egg and sweet tomato in a freshly baked roll served with a rich chocolate sponge, suitable for vegetarians;
- Creamy and spicy coronation chickpea in a freshly baked roll served with a rich chocolate, also suitable for vegetarians;
- Chunky chicken salsa in a freshly baked roll served with a zesty lemon sponge.
The company is also introducing Monty’s Croque Monsieur, a twist on the popular classic dish re-designed by the Monty’s Bakehouse chefs.
Monty’s Croque Monsieur consists of layers of fresh ham, tangy mustard and a mature cheddar bechamel sauce topped with Gruyere cheese placed on top of a crispy white bread with chunky, doughy sides. The Monty’s Bakehouse chefs use a unique baking process where the filling is baked into the bread to prevent the cheese oozing out or the ham separating from the sandwich for a delectable clean eat. The doughy sides also prevent greasy fingers.
Also available is vegetarian and halal alternative, the Garlic Mushroom Croque, made with layers of sliced mushrooms, mustard, and a mature cheddar bechamel sauce topped with Gruyere cheese.
The Monty’s Bakehouse team have removed the traditional plastic flow wrap used in the industry, instead serving the Monty’s Croque Monsieur in its signature Barricade Eco packaging which is bio-degradable, compostable paperboard sourced from sustainably managed forests.
