We toast our bread to make it more palatable as it is firmer (crunchy) and has more flavour. Normally after toasting our bread, we will just spread it with butter (or peanut, almond or other types of butter), egg custard (kaya) or jam. However, we can make our bread even more tasty by adding other ingredients like vegetables, eggs, cheese, chicken, bacon, mushrooms and many more.
One of the toasts that I like to make is the Vegetarian Toast as I consider it to be a healthy eat. I usually add capsicum (red and yellow) and tomatoes. However, you may add other vegetables of your choice.
Ingredients:
- A small segment of red capsicum
- A small segment of yellow capsicum
- Half of a tomato
- 3 stalks of green onion
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp salt (or according to taste)
- 4 pieces white bread (can also use wholewheat bread)
- Butter for spreading
- Mozzarella cheese
Method:
- Cut the red capsicum, yellow capsicum, green onion and tomato into small pieces and put them into a mixing bowl.
- Add mayonnaise, paprika, pepper and salt to the bowl. Mix them up till they are well combined.
- Cut off the crust of the 4 pieces of bread.
- Butter the bread and place them on a parchment paper on a baking tray.
- Spread the vegetable mixture on the bread.
- Spread Mozzarella cheese on top of the vegetable mixture.
- Bake the bread at 150 deg C for 20 minutes of until they turn golden brown.
