Egg Sandwich

Hi Friends ...
       Egg has high amount of protein which is very good for growing kids. Eggs are not only rich in protein but also rich in Vitamin A, B2, iron and calcium. Egg can be given in many forms like omelette, hard boiled, scrambled eggs, half fried etc etc...
I made egg sandwich today ...Tried for the first  time, so sharing the recipe with you. Try it and get a big smile on your kid's face :-)

• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 1 green chilly (finely chopped)
• Few fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 3 tbsp fat free mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
• Salt acc.to taste
• 1/2 tsp pepper powder

Method:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl except bread slices and ketchup. Mix it well and keep the filling aside.
2. Apply ketchup on each slice and spread the filling on the slice.
3. Place the another slice on the filling.
4. Now grill the sandwich in the toaster for 5-7 mins or till slices become golden brown in colour.
5. Serve hot with a glass of a milk.

Note: If you don't want to use eggs, you can add grated carrots, cabbage or paneer (cottage cheese) in the same way.
