What to make for breakfast is big question for me always and most of the time it's batata poha ( and I made that again today) as DH likes that very much.  Since we don't make idli/dosa much or say it happens only once in blue moon, what to make breakfast always troubles me, of course there are many good North Indian recipe but it requires time and patience which I hardly have.  I wonder how my mom use to make roti/paratha/poori sabzi for breakfast I can hardly do that or even think about it.

The truth is I don't make breakfast every day, most of the time we eat out but when I do make breakfast I try look for simple and quick options.

Do you like sandwich specially for breakfast or snack? I like because it's simple, easy and quick to prepare. We can do lot of variations in sandwich filling to suit our taste.  This is one of easy sandwich toast recipe again with lots of vegetables plus goodness of cheese.  I used less of cheese because I made this only for myself, you can reduce cheese too if you like or for kids you can add it generously.  Cheese helps to bind the vegetables well so they doesn't keep sneaking out of sandwich :) in my sandwich if you don't see cheese oozing out then don't be surprise.

The good thing about this simple vegetable filling is you can also use it as salad, it taste spicy, yum and refreshing due to all raw vegetables.  Good option is to use sandwich maker to toast these sandwich this way vegetables get's cooked well and cheese melt nicely, but to show the filling I didn't use my toaster once again, also I have used wholemeal walnut bread, it's add good walnut crunch to the sandwich.  Next time if you happen to see wholemeal walnut bread perhaps you can give a try.

Eggplant Curry Sandwich | Leftover Magic

Remember my Eggplant and Tomato Curry Recipe?  With the leftover curry I got this idea of making sandwich for breakfast and it was just too good, DH simply loved it.   It’s so simple, easy to do and takes less than 10 minutes with just 3 ingredients, it doesn't really get better than this.  No one can make out the stuffing is eggplant, if you have anyone doesn't like brinjal then this is a good way to add brinjal in their diet.  A great way to use your leftover curry in a form of new dish, perfect for breakfast, snack or even for lunch box.  You can use any other leftover curry of your choice just make sure you are not selecting something which has lot of gravy, a semi-dry curry works best here and get’s dry faster when cooked.  I usually make sandwich in my sandwich maker but for blog post had to toast the bread in tawa so you can see the step vise pictures.  If you want just spread chutney, curry over bread and toast in your sandwich maker. 

Ingredients for Eggplant Curry Sandwich [Serves 2]

Eggplant Tomato Curry - 1 Cup
Bread Slice - 4 [ I used white bread]
Green Chutney - 2-3 tbsp

Method:

1. Heat a wok/pan and add leftover eggplant tomato curry, cook in medium flame until it becomes dry and mash eggplant pieces with back of ladle, stir in intervals. 

2. Heat a pan/tawa and toast bread pieces both side.

3. To Assemble, apply green chutney on one side of bread and then spread generous amount of curry, top it up with another pieces of toasted bread, cut and serve.

That’s all our super easy and delicious sandwich is ready in less than 10 minutes.  Have it with tea/coffee for a filling and yummy breakfast or evening snack.

Variations ~
~ You can use brown or multi-grain bread
~ Spread butter before chutney if preferred.
