Bread Cheese Pouch, a snack prepared with a sweet filling, is not only an evening treat but also a breakfast item. Savouring it on either time of the day can be a mood changer for all, especially for the cheese lovers. On a bad day, I usually prepare this savoury, to do away with sulkiness. However, if you have kids at home, you can always serve it to them, on a condition that they finish their homework as soon as possible.
When you take a bite of Bread Cheese Pouch, you will be surprised to see the colourful stuffing inside it. The credit for this goes to finely chopped red, yellow and green capsicum. When it comes to nutrition content, this titbit is high on it. Yes, I know you will definitely not agree with me on this when considering cheese but the other ingredients like capsicum, sweet corn, paneer and more importantly, multi grain or brown bread can be good for your health. ;
If you are not a fan of brown bread as I am, then you can replace it with white bread. Moreover, keeping in mind, the common dislike for it mostly among children, I have included white bread as an alternative. However, do not forget to trim its edges, as nobody likes it. Instead of wasting it by throwing it away, I would recommend making breadcrumbs with it.
As for the taste, corn lends sweetness to it whereas chilli flakes add a fiery flavour to it. To enhance its flavour even more, 3/4 tsp of oregano will do.
Be it a social gathering or a kitty party, golden brown Bread Cheese Pouch, is worth an addition to your day’s menu. Teaming it up with green chutney or tomato sauce can make the overall meal a zesty one. So bring out the hidden chef in you and go through each of the steps given below to prepare this comforting dish.
