Notes
- Nutritional value - For a healthier option, you could opt for brown bread or multigrain bread that provides more fiber when compared to the white bread.
- Customization - You can opt for other vegetables like spinach, lettuce, cabbage along with onion and capsicum. You can add more cheese if you prefer to get a gooey cheese-egg sandwich.
- Sauteing - Saute the veggies well but do not make it soft, it should retain its crunch.
- Butter - Apply generous amount of butter while toasting the bread as it adds to the crispness of the sandwich as well as enhances the aroma and flavor.
- Excessive stuffing - Do not stuff in too much as the excess tends to ooze off during toasting.
- Preparation - Grill your bread on low to medium as too much heat can burn the stuffing.
- Alternate method - If you do not have sandwich toaster, you can use your dosa tawa for toasting.
