Our Love for Sandwiches

We love a good sandwich at home. Every weekend, my husband takes over the kitchen for breakfast. He is our sandwich master. Kids tell him what sandwich they want, sometimes he surprises them with his own.

Today's cheesy capsicum sandwich is his recipe. I rarely make sandwiches for the boys, but when I do, they love the banana honey walnut. This sweet, caramelized sandwich is my mother's favorite too. A fact made more interesting by her being an 83-year-old South Indian.

If you are a fan of fruit sandwiches, then you must check this apple pie sandwich and plum cheesecake sandwich. Sounds exotic right, but they are super simple to make.

Since my elder fella started watching what is on his plate, he wants some protein in all of his meals. When it comes to sandwiches, they mostly become carb heavy. I try my best with good amount of cheese and veggies like this paneer burger, halloumi sandwich.

Today's Capsicum Cheese Sandwich

My husband's amazing cheese sandwich, a work in progress for like 3-4 years, is a total taste bomb! It has fresh bell peppers and almond crunch with a spice kick from black pepper and chili flakes.

He can make this sandwich even in his sleep. The boys have so much fun in the kitchen. They get excited when their dad announces "I m making sandwich for breakfast tomorrow". For me, a day off from the kitchen is music to my ears.

Expert Tips

• I have used white bread for the sandwich. I would recommend using a multi-grain bread with seeded crust. The crusty bread makes this sandwich more hearty.
• I have used only green bell pepper here. You can use colorful peppers and make it more attractive for the kids.
• Almonds in the recipe is optional. You can make this cheesy sandwich nut-free too. If you prefer add some sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.
• I have used processed cheese slice in this sandwich recipe. You can also use a mix of shredded mozzarella and cheddar for the cheese pull. Add some grated paneer or tofu for some extra protein.
• If using shredded cheese, mix the chopped capsicum with cheese and the seasonings. Then continue with stuffing and toasting the sandwich.
• For the spice i have used black pepper, chili flakes and salt. You can experiment with oregano, basil and mixed herbs. Or else add some garam masala and chat masala for a desi taste.

Ingredients to Make this Simple Bell Pepper Sandwich

• Bread : I normally use White bread. You can go ahead and use bread of your choice.
• Vegetable : The title is obvious, i have used green bell peppers to make this cheesy capsicum sandwich.
• Cheese : We normally use Amul Processed cheese for all our sandwiches. You can use any cheese of your own.

• Seasonings : This quick and easy bell pepper sandwich uses freshly crushed black pepper. Along with red chili flakes and a pinch of salt.
• Fat : We love butter to toast our sandwiches. I sometimes use ghee too. If vegan, please use plant based butter.
• Add-ons : My husband's signature add-on is thinly sliced almonds and few coriander leaves. Almond gives a nice crunch and coriander adds fresh flavor to the sandwich.

This simple and easy capsicum sandwich can be made as part of a brunch party. Add another burger like this cauliflower paneer burger or make this aloo methi cutlet to the menu. Along with the cutlets, add some lettuce, boiled chickpeas, sweet corn etc. So the guests can make their own salad bowl.

Add some spreads like Beets labneh, roasted veggies salsa, bell pepper & walnut hummus. And a coriander chutney for the desi kick. Give them an choice to assemble their own sandwich or wraps with some bread or tortilla.
