I shared this recipe a while back when I first started blogging. But I’m revisiting it now for a couple of reasons. First off, the topping I used before wasn’t quite the authentic street style I was going for. It ended up more like a basic cheese garlic bread. This time, I’ve amped it up with loads of desi toppings to really nail that street food vibe.
I’ve included both ways – with a single topping! That way, you can choose to make it either way, or even try both. And don’t worry if you don’t have a sandwich toast, a regular toaster or grill will work just fine.
Just a heads up, be cautious with the stuffing as it can spill out, especially when pressed. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.
Ingredients for Chilli Cheese Corn Toast
- 1 cup boiled corn kernels
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (you can use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped capsicum
- 1/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes
- 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt to taste
- 4-6 slices of bread
- Butter for toasting
Here’s How to Make it
In a bowl, combine the boiled corn kernels, grated cheese, finely chopped onions, capsicum, tomatoes, green chilies (if using), coriander leaves, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix everything well.
Take a slice of bread and spread some butter on one side. Place a generous amount of the corn and cheese mixture on the non-buttered side of the bread.
Heat a non-stick pan or a tawa over medium heat. Place the bread slice, buttered side down, on the pan.
Cook the toast on medium heat until the bottom side is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese has melted. You can cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt faster.
Once the toast is done, remove it from the pan and cut it into triangles or squares. Serve hot with ketchup or any dipping sauce of your choice.
Here are some more tips and ideas to take your chilli cheese toast recipe to the next level:
Choose the Right Bread: Using fresh and sturdy bread is essential for this recipe. Make sure the bread can hold up its shape and carry the toppings without getting soggy.
Pick the Perfect Cheese: Cheddar or mozzarella cheese work best for this recipe. Cheddar cheese adds a delicious flavor when paired with chillies or jalapenos.
Adjust the Spice Level: You can easily customize the spice level by adding more or fewer chilli peppers, or adjusting the amount of cheese. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for a unique taste and flavor.
