Veggie cheese toast is a quick snack that can be prepared in less than 20mins and served as breakfast, after school snacks or even as party starters .
The grated cheese on top is a sure shot child pleaser and the best way to attract children and feed them their share of vegetables disguised under the cheese 🧀.
I have used less cheese but you can use the cheese depending on your liking and taste . I basically don't like too much cheese while hubby loves cheese, so his share of toast had a liberal topping of cheese while mine was very very less. We had this yummy toast sandwich with piping hot tomato rasam and it was a complete meal by itself.
Veggie cheese toast pairs well with Lemon corriander soup as well . The level of crispness of the toast is also purely your choice. If you like a crisp toast, then toast it for some extra time on the tawa on medium flame ensuring that you don't burn the base .
