Healthy Breakfast Bar

Actually am bored to get store bought cereal bars for our breakfast,somehow i'll get the cereal bars just to feed my daguther as she dont like to have a complete breakfast. Personally i love to give a cereal bar to my daughter with a cup of milk before she leaves to her school, so that she can have the cereal bar at school if she dont feel like having immediately.

How about starting your day with a super cheesy,easy breezy and simple super filling sandwich?, definitely i wont say 'no', as i told earlier am not a breakfast person.I love to have a thick smoothie or a coffee with a bread just for the sake of not skipping the breakfast. But if someone prepare a quick sandwich with cheese specially for me, am ready to have it for my breakfast without any hesitation.I prepared this cheesy sandwich for my lil one for his breakfast as he love cheesy sandwiches very much.

I used grated gruyere cheese for making this sandwich and this sandwich goes for a super quick preparation and obviously its one of the easiest sandwich even a kid with an adult helps can prepare easily for his breakfast or snack.
