Bread Sandwich is a very simple recipe that is good for kids' lunch sacks or as a snack in the evening. This uses very basic ingredients and is ready in about 5 minutes.
My theme for this week’s marathon is Kid’s delight – Lunch box recipes. Today is the second day and I have a very simple bread sandwich that can be made in a jiffy on a very busy morning. My son loves fresh vegetables.
He loves to eat anything raw and that has proved very advantageous for me. Also, I prepare lots of salads and sandwiches for him which he absolutely loves.
I also tend to add a variety of spices to any of the meals I prepare. I believe that kids' palate starts developing at a very young age and I want to expose them to many spices, so they can adapt to different environments they are exposed to.
Preparation time – 5 mins
Cooking time – none
Difficulty level – easy
Ingredients to make Simple Bread Sandwich – to make 4 sets of sandwiches
- Bread (white or wheat or multigrain) – 8 slices
- Cucumber – 1 (peeled and sliced thin)
- Tomatoes – 2 (sliced thin)
- Spreadable cheese or Butter or any spread – 4 tbsp
- Green chutney – 4 tsp
Procedure –
- Take 2 slices of bread. In one slice, spread 1 tablespoon of butter or cheese or any vegetable spread evenly. On the other slice, spread 1 teaspoon of green chutney.
- Now layer one of the slices with the tomatoes and then the cucumbers.
- Top with the other slice and gently press to sandwich them together. Repeat the same with the rest of the slices.
- To pack in the lunch box, cut the sandwich diagonally and then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. This ensures that the sandwich does not open until they are ready to eat.
