Kids’ Veggie & Cheese Delight Toast
Kids’ Veggie & Cheese Delight Toast
A Special Snack for Kids Using Leftover Garden Veggies
Whip up a delightful snack for your little ones using the fresh vegetables leftover from making grilled chicken breast! This toast is not only visually appealing with its vibrant colors but also packed with flavor thanks to the generous cheese and sweet corn, making it a guaranteed hit.
Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- 2 slices of mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 50g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice of processed ham (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for your toast topping. Finely mince the onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Ensure they are cut into very small pieces so they are easy for children to chew. If your child is picky about vegetables, mincing them very finely can help them blend in almost like a sauce.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the minced vegetables with 2 tablespoons of drained canned corn and 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce. Mix everything together thoroughly. For a slight variation, you can use tomato ketchup instead of spaghetti sauce, or add a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble the toast! On one slice of bread, place a slice of mozzarella cheese first. This acts as a barrier, preventing the bread from becoming soggy from the sauce, and the melted cheese will help hold all the toppings together beautifully.
Step 4
Generously spread the vegetable and sauce mixture prepared earlier over the mozzarella cheese. Ensure you cover the spread evenly to the edges of the bread for a visually appealing finish.
Step 5
Layer the slice of processed ham on top of the vegetable mixture. Ham is often a favorite among children, so adding it will make the toast even more delicious! (Feel free to substitute with bacon or other preferred ingredients.)
Step 6
Next, sprinkle about 50g of shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the ham, followed by the slice of cheddar cheese on top. Don’t be shy with the cheese – a good amount will ensure a wonderfully gooey and cheesy toast.
Step 7
Finally, place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Preheat your toaster and toast until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and gooey. If you don’t have a toaster, you can achieve similar results by cooking it on a pan over low heat with a lid.
