CORN TOAST OR CORN OPEN SANDWICH !

A good dish for the corn lovers. This tastes so delish and it can be served as an starters or even as an full meal.  Here I have used Multi grain bread but this can be done in any breads. Corn kernels with mild sauce and cheese is so yummm....... here is the recipe.

Ingredients :

Corn kernels - 3/4 tin

Onions - 1/4 cup
Garlic - 1 pod very finely chopped

Green Chilli sauce - 1 tbsp

Tomato sauce - 1 tbsp

Mozzarella cheese - 1/4 to 1/3 cup grated for topping (you can also use cheddar cheese if you want or even mix of Mozzarella and Cheddar )
Bread slices - 6 to 8 (halved diagonally) I used Multi grain bread

For making white sauce :

Butter - 2 tbsp or Olive oil - 2 tbsp (you can also use half oil and half butter)

All purpose flour - 2 tbsp

Milk - 3/4 cup

Salt

Pepper

For garnishing - coriander

Method :

1. Heat oil or butter in the pan, add finely chopped onion and garlic. Saute till onions turns transparent.

2. Add the flour.  Cook over low heat, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes. Cooking for this length of time will minimize 'flour' taste.

3. Add milk and whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

4. When it starts to thicken add  salt and pepper.

5. Now to this add corn. Mix until everything is blended (it becomes little thick) and switch of the flame.  (If you want to add herbs, deseeded chillies finely chopped or coriander you add in this stage)

6. Mix two sauces in the bowl.

7. Apply sauce to every slice(apply more or less depends on your taste) and  divide thin layer of corn for all the breads. Top with little or more mozzarella on the top.

8. Broil in the oven until the top turns to slight brown in color.

9. Serve as starter or as a meal with soup and salad.

10. Serve with Chilli sauce or tomato Ketchup.

Variation :

1. You can add minced green chilli to corn mixture to make it spicy.

2. You Can also add chopped coriander or any herbs in the corn mixture for different flavor.
