Children's sandwiches - general principles of cooking
If the child refuses to eat porridge for breakfast, the preparation of children's sandwiches can be the way out. The main task is to make sandwiches as useful and easily digestible as possible. About mayonnaise, fat sausage, ketchup, etc. can be no question. For the preparation of children's sandwiches, mainly fresh vegetables, fruits, boiled beef or turkey, light-salted fish, cheese, butter, greens, dried fruits, and sometimes lean ham or sausage are used. Many recipes for children's sandwiches use eggs. Instead of the usual chicken better to take quail. As for bread, the best choice would be bran, whole grain or flax bread. Well suited for children's sandwiches are buns with sesame seeds, nuts and cereals. In addition to butter, bread rolls can be spread with melted cheese, cottage cheese or sour cream. Bright vegetables, fruits and greens are suitable for decorating: boiled carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, oranges, kiwi, lettuce, green onions. For small parts, you can use green peas, corn, olives or prunes. Kids love sandwiches in the form of animals, boats, houses, a flower, etc.
Kids sandwiches can be sweet. This is a great alternative to candy, baking and other sweets. Sweet sandwiches can be made with cottage cheese, dried fruit, any fresh fruit, nuts, candied fruits or small waffles.
The sandwich needs to be prepared so that it is convenient for the child to eat it. Do not build too massive structures. The filling should not ooze, drip or drain - the kids do not like it very much. Also, do not use more ingredients, in addition to bread and basics, 2-3 products will suffice.
