We really enjoy the Amy’s Kitchen Vegetable Pot Pie, so when we learned there was a pocket sandwich version of it, we knew we had to try it. It wasn’t easy to find, because very few of the grocery stores in our neighborhood keep it in stock, but we were eventually able to track one down. So today we’re finally reviewing the Amy’s Vegetable Pie in a Pocket Sandwich.
This sandwich is actually pretty small. That means the microwave time is nice and short — simply toss it in for a minute, flip it, and cook it for another minute. On the other hand, it also means this isn’t very filling.
One of the big positives of stuffing Amy’s pot pie filling into a pocket sandwich is that this allows Amy’s Kitchen to use a very similar crust to that of their pizza-roll-inspired snacks. This is a great crust — it’s delicious and it has a nice powdery layer around it. We do have to admit that the microwave isn’t idea for this crust, however, as it comes out a bit moist and doughy. This usually isn’t a problem if you cook it in the oven.
The filling is great as well. This is a brothy tasting cream filling, with plenty of peas, carrots, and potatoes mixed in. This also makes use of tofu, which is always a welcome addition to any Amy’s meal. Amy’s Kitchen very consistently impresses us with their tofu.
This sandwich contains 260 calories (80 from fat), which really isn’t all that bad. Just consider that this really isn’t a full meal; as we mentioned earlier, it’s pretty small. The 490 mg of sodium is a little high for the size of the sandwich as well, so keep that in mind.
Amy’s Vegetable Pie in a Pocket Sandwich is excellent, though it makes a better snack than a meal. It’s not enough to fill you up when you’re hungry. We mentioned this earlier, but we really do think this is designed for the oven rather than the microwave, so even though that super short cook time may be appealing, you might want to give this the oven lovin’ it deserves.
