Baked Corn Open Toast ( Corn)
by Tarla Dalal

Pepper-tinged white sauce with sautéed onions and sweet corn is a wonderful topping for bread slices, as it provides a perfect mix of flavour, textures and gooeyness that always complements toast beautifully.

Semi-toast the bread slices, apply the topping and then bake them again till the cheese melts. This gives you the perfect crispness, while also fusing the topping with the toast.

The Baked Corn Open Toast is so easy to make, you can prepare it any day, as an after school snack for kids, or a special accompaniment for tea.
