- 8 to 10 lices of bread - whole wheat, brown, multi grain, oats or white bread
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions or shallots
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped tomatoes
- ¼ cup finely chopped capsicum (green bell pepper) - you can also use a mix of all the three colored capsicum
- 1 garlic - finely crushed or minced
- 80 grams cheddar cheese or ½ cup tightly packed grated cheddar cheese or paneer, (can also use processed cheese or a mozzarella cheese or a mix of two cheese)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder or crushed black pepper or as required
- 1 teaspoon dry oregano
- 1 teaspoon dry basil or ½ tablespoon chopped basil leaves
- salt as required
- butter salted or unsalted, as required
Instructions
Making stuffing
- In a bowl, add finely chopped onions, finely chopped tomatoes, finely chopped capsicum or green bell peppers.
- Add grated cheddar cheese or processed cheese. You can add more cheese if you like.
- Add the seasonings - black pepper powder or crushed black pepper, dry oregano, dry basil. Instead of basil you can add chopped cilantro, chives, parsley or mint leaves. Use herbs which you have or the ones which you like. You can also use Italian seasoning.
- Mix everything. Check the taste and then add salt. Just a pinch or two of salt is fine as cheese already has salt.
Making capsicum sandwich
- Spread butter evenly on the bread slices.
- Spoon the prepared capsicum stuffed on half of the buttered slices and spread it neatly and evenly on the bread.
- Cover with the remaining buttered slices.
- Grill or toast the capsicum sandwich in a preheated electric sandwich maker or panini press till golden and crisp. The sandwiches can also be made on a frying pan or skillet. Simply spread some softened butter on a hot skillet. Keep the sandwich. When one side is golden, turn over carefully and roast the other side till golden and crisp.
- Spread some butter on top of the toasted sandwiches if you want.
- Serve capsicum sandwich with tomato ketchup or chili sauce.
Notes
- Make these bell pepper sandwiches with any colored bell pepper you have on hand.
- Skip tomatoes if you are not fond of them.
- For the cheese, use grated or shredded cheddar, mozzarella or processed cheese. You can also use cheese slices.
- Feel free to include fresh herbs or dried herbs that you like. Add you favorite seasonings and spices.
- Scale the recipe to make for kids parties or small get-togethers.
