Its on the blander side and is a breakfast food which is good for kids. You can easily use any bread which you have around the house, and I often do that because it makes a very quick and easy meal. In this case, I actually prefer a brown whole wheat bread, either arabic flatbread style or a brown whole wheat that I make myself.
