CORN MIXTURE
- 1¼ teaspoon Oil
- 3 tablespoons Onion finely chopped
- ½ cup Red Bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ cup Yellow bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 cup Corn
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 3 tablespoons Cilantro leaves chopped
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese

ASSEMBLE CORN MIXTURE
Add oil and chopped onions to a pan.
Sauté the onions over medium heat until soft. Remove them from the pan and set them aside to cool.
Now combine corn, bell peppers, cilantro, spices, and cooled sautéed onions in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice and mix it well.
Finally, add the shredded Mexican cheese and low-fat shredded Mozzarella cheese to the corn mixture.
Mix until all the ingredients are well blended.
TOAST THE BREAD
Brush both sides of the sourdough with garlic butter and arrange them in an airfryer.
Bake them for 2-3 minutes @350°F until lightly brown. Remove and set them aside.
Now, take a toasted slice and apply 3 tablespoons of the mixture over each piece. Top each layered toast with sliced green chilies and more cilantro leaves.
Transfer the layered cheesy corn masala toast slice to an airfryer. Cover the slices with aluminum foil.
Bake them @325°F for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese melts to bubbly, gooey perfection.
Serve them warm with a dip of your choice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I store the corn veggies mixture in the fridge?
Yes, you can. Transfer the left-over corn-veggies mixture (without the cheese) to an air-tight container and store it in a fridge. It stays good for up to 2 days under refrigeration.
Why cover the corn toast with foil during baking?
The reason is simple - the aluminum foil will help keep the corn toast moist while the toast heats up. Covering it with foil will also prevent the cheese from drying out.
Can I make the Cheesy Corn Masala Toast mixture ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the corn-veggies mixture ahead of time and store it in a refrigerator. However, do not add the cheese until ready to bake/ toast.
How can I store the left-over toasts?
You can transfer the left-over toasts in an air-tight container lined with butter paper and store them in a refrigerator.
Can I reheat the toasts?
Yes, you can. You can reheat the toasts in an airfryer or on a skillet for about 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts. They will be soon ready to relish.
