PAAV BHAJI CHEESE TOAST SANDWICH

Paav Bhaji Cheese Toast Sandwich is nothing but sandwich which is simply made with leftover paav bhaji and generous amount of butter and cheese. It is a delicious classic snack recipe, specially kids favourite. In this unique sandwich we have used only onion rings which gives a nice crunch but you can use some other veggies too. Toast sandwich with leftover paav bhaji is a quick fix breakfast or an evening snack, simple and easy to make with very few ingredients. Here I toasted the bread slices but you can grill them on a grill pan or make it in a sandwich maker. I have learnt the secret to a good sandwich is toasting the bread  on both the sides. I didn’t have my sandwich maker at hand. So I toasted on tawa instead which makes the sandwich equally delicious. Here I used two types of cheese which gives a creamy cheesy goodness to the sandwich.

I always used to make extra paav bhaji to relish on the next day because it tastes just fantastic. For many of us, it all about what to do with leftover paav bhaji. So if you have some leftover paav bhaji, next time think about this and make this sandwich and enjoy it as evening snack or pack it for your kids snack box.
