Here's something that you can whip up quickly with minimal ingredients and no cooking. Having been away from the kitchen for two months, I had a bit of starting trouble to get back into the full cooking mode.
When we were back, my fridge was stocked with milk and eggs and I had two packets of bread and some fruits on my kitchen counter, thanks to our wonderful friends :)
The breads and eggs came handy the first few days. After having toast for a few days, I decided to make some sandwiches. This is a very basic sandwich recipe, even the kids can do it by themselves. That reminds me, I get mails asking for recipes for kids to eat and cook (or recipes that involves no cooking), this is a good one.
It's very light and refreshing, you can make this in advance and refrigerate. It's good as morning breakfast, mid morning or evening snack or as a light dinner. Also, this is great if you've company for tea or breakfast.
If you ask me, you'd definitely want to eat this, only question is how and when? With company, by yourself, for breakfast or for tea, pick and choose!
Here you go with this simple, quick, tasty and may I say healthy, sandwich.
Please read the “notes” section before you make this.
