Open Face Sandwich
This sandwich is made using only one side of bread. As you can see all the toppings it looks very colorful and tempting. The added advantage is kids eat less bread and more veggies. It needs very few ingredients but they satisfy all the taste buds in every bite. The onions are caramelized in vinegar so they have sweet and tangy taste. Red pepper flakes adds hot taste.This sandwich is our all time favorite.

Notes
Julian means cutting the vegetable or fruit vertically in thin stripes.
I have added red pepper flakes. Instead freshly cracked black pepper can also be used.
I have removed all the seeds from the tomatoes. This way the tomatoes do not make the sandwich soggy.
The sandwich tastes good on a baguette. You can use white slice bread instead if you don’t have a baguette.
