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.

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.
Hi Dassana,
This recipe turned out very nice! Really made my day….
thank for the feedback anuprita.
Good One!! I am sure it tastes much similar to pizza.
Hi Dassana,
Nice post. I have a request. Could you in one post explain the different types of cheese and which cheese to use where (like cheddar cheese or processed cheese or mozzarella cheese or cheese slice).
Could you also tell which store bought cheese do you use (Britannia/Amul or something else).
I hope I am not asking for much. Thanks for all your efforts to make our cooking better. I owe you a lot.
hi garima, lets see if i can write a post on this topic. i have noted it down. i use go cheddar or mozzarella cheese and amul processed cheese. thanks and you don’t owe me anything 🙂
