Fruit Sandwich is well known as a menu of old style Coffee Shop in Japan. You can use any fruit! As a spread, you can use almond or peanut butter, cream cheese, sweetened whipped cream or avocado and more. Perfect for lunch box as well.
Below are some recipes to get more ideas. First I am going to share the Japanese version as I got the idea from there.
Fruit sandwich recipe:
Serves: 2
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
Bread slices- 6
Banana- 2 (sliced)
Pomegranate seeds- 2tbsp
Apple- 1 (grated)
Pineapple ½ cup
Black pepper powder- 1tsp
Sweetened whipped cream- ½ cup
Strawberries- 3-4 (sliced)
Procedure
Cut the brown side of the bread slices. Apply Whipped cream on breads. Place the bread slices on a plate. Now place all the fruits on the bread slice (except strawberries). In short, decorate the bread slices with banana, pomegranate seeds and apple. Cover the decorated bread slices with the bread. Fruit sandwich is ready to eat. Garnish with strawberries slices and serve. You can cut the bread slices into small pieces if you want.
