Capsicum sandwich recipe with step by step photos – quick & easy cheese capsicum toast sandwich recipe.
I make these capsicum sandwich for quick breakfast when running short on time. Capsicum gives its own flavor to the sandwiches. Depending on what I have, I add the other veggies like grated carrots or tomatoes.
While clicking the post pictures, I have added tomatoes and onions. Though you can add either and also you can add the spare carrot or beetroot which you have in the fridge. Even boiled sweet corn or potatoes can be added. I have also added cheese. But you can even add paneer. These capsicum sandwich are not spicy and hence kid friendly. They are fairly easy to assemble and prepare.
Serve capsicum toast sandwich with Tomato ketchup or chili sauce or pudina chutney.

The best ever capsicum sandwich I’ve ever had!! Earlier, I used to sauté the ingredients and prepare the sandwich… This one was much better than the earlier method…. It was very tasty with the garlicky flavour! Thanks a lot….
thankyou preethi 🙂
thanks. your recipes are so easy. for this , how much time we will set in otg
thanks amutha. 10 to 15 minutes or till the sandwiches are golden. preheat the oven at 180 degrees celsius and then place the sandwiches.
tried this today….simply quick and yummy breakfast…..thank you….if i bake samosas in oven than is there no need to add yeast in the dough ?
thats nice. agree on the quickness and yumminess of the toasts. for samosas, you don’t need to add yeast. yeast is only added in breads. you can add 1 to 2 tbsp more of oil or ghee in the flour, if baking as it gives a nice khasta or flaky texture to the samosas.
