This makes a perfect Party food for the kids and also a nutritional snack as it is loaded with cheese and veggies. A random experiment during one of the times when I baked the dinner rolls previously resulted in this and went on to become a big hit with the children. They loved it very much and also their friends when I packed off these for their school snacks. As I could not call them as Stuffed buns, I christened these as Cheesy Bread Cups. If you are not worried about the waist line and keep a check on calories, this makes a nice snack. Feel free to play with the stuffing part as that is the most interesting part in this and also in coming up with new names.....

Cheesy Bread Cups

You’ll need:

Homemade Dinner Rolls / Pav Buns – 4

Onion – 1

Tomato – 1

Capsicum – 1

Processed cheese cube – 1 ( I used “Amul” brand)

Tomato sauce – ¼ cup

Red chilli powder – ½ tsp

Mozzarella cheese (grated) – ¼ cup

Salt – to taste

Oil – 2 tsp

Method:

Chop onion, tomato and capsicum finely. Grate the cheese cube and keep it aside.





Cut off the top of the dinner roll and gently scoop or pull out the insides while making a cup and keep it aside. Keep the scooped out insides of the rolls aside as we are not going to waste it.





Heat a pan with oil. Add the onion and sauté till pink. Add tomato, salt and cook till the tomatoes become mushy. Add the capsicum and cook for a minute. Now add the red chilli powder and tomato sauce, cook for another minute. Let it cool a bit. Add the grated cheese cube and mix well.





If you feel that this mixture is mushy and soggy mix in the scooped insides of the rolls. This will absorb the excess moisture and make the stuffing firm.



Fill the bread cups with this filling and top it by sprinkling Mozzarella cheese over it. Keep it aside.





Pre heat the oven to 180 Deg C. Arrange these bread cups on a baking tray and slip it into the oven. Bake for 7-10 min or till the cheese on top melts. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
