Grilled Tomato Cream Cheese Sandwich: A Quick and delicious sandwich made in under 10 mins with the goodness of tomatoes and cream cheese. Great for parties, lunchboxes, picnics or potluck.
Sandwiches are a dream to make and kids love it too ! My elder one used to take a lot of sandwiches in her elementary school and when I first posted this recipe, she had finished her board exams, and now she's on another important milestone of her life... How time flies !!
From pestering her mom to pack sandwiches to making her own Open Sandwiches (with variants from the eclectic Schezwan Cheese to Butter Chilli), it’s surely a treat to see her make these dishes for herself and the little one… And, I wanted to present this ultra simple yet delicious Tomato + Cream Cheese Sandwich that the little one loves and it comes together in under 15 mins

Oh yum! This reminds me of the tomato mozarella sandwich we get at Tim Hortons here. I was wondering what was so special in it, but I ordered it because it fit my budget - hehe - and it was surprisingly delicious! This looks so good... Yeah, the girls have been messing up the kitchen and just yesterday broke one of my prop glasses in the process... hehe...
