Corn Cheese Toasts- Open Sandwich with sweet corn and cheese.

Ingredients and Method to make Corn Toasts
1 can cream style corn (1 and 1/2 cups of cream style corn)

2 Thai or Indian style green chilies cut very fine (or to taste)

1 tbsp oil

Salt to taste (I used approx 1/2 tsp salt)

1/4 tsp black pepper powder (opt or to taste)

1/4 tsp red chili powder (opt or to taste)

3 tbsp finely chopped cilantro (coriander leaves/ hara dhania/kothamalli)

8 slices of bread (I used wheat bread but any kind would work)  (see notes)

Shredded / grated cheese of choice as required ( see notes)

A small bit of butter

Heat oil in a medium sized heavy bottomed pan. Add green chilies and stir a few times. Then add cream style corn, salt to taste, pepper powder if using, chili powder if using and simmer for a few minutes until the cream style corn thickens a little. Add cilantro and mix well. Remove this mixture from heat. 

Toast bread with a dot of butter on a flat pan/ tawa/ skillet until it turns slightly golden brown. You can also use a regular toaster for this, but I prefer the stove top method to make these toasts. 

Pre heat oven to 425 deg F ( approx 220 Deg C) if you do not have an oven don't worry. I have described the stove top method below. 

Pre line a tray with parchment paper or with aluminum foil. Place the toasted bread slices on the tray. 

Place a little of the sweet corn mixture on each slice of bread and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface of the bread. Sprinkle a little bit of shredded/ grated cheese on each slice. Proceed for all the slices. Place tray in the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Remove and serve hot with some ketchup. 

If you do not have an oven........
Instead of placing each coated bread on a tray, heat a tawa/ flat pan/ skillet on medium low heat. Place one slice of bread with the corn cheese mixture side up on the tawa. Cover with a lid and cook on lowest setting for a few minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove gently with a spatula and serve hot. Proceed with all the bread slices in this manner.

Notes:

I've used shredded cheddar and shredded mozzarella cheeses while making this toast and liked both versions. Use whichever kind of cheese you prefer for this toast.

With this quantity of sweet corn mixture I was able to make 8 standard sized toasts. If the bread slices are very large or a very large amount of mixture is applied on each slice then you may get less number if toasts with this quantity of mixture. 

You can easily double this recipe.
