Cream Cheese Sweet Corn Crackers

This week I have spent lot of time thinking what recipe or tips I should be writing for my readers. Interestingly my daughter who is the smart one in our house says that I should talk about the starters you make when we suddenly decide to have play dates or forgetful papa forgets to tell you that he has invited his friends over.  This happens quite often in our house but thanks to our modern societies that you get a intercom before the visitor comes up.  Not sure if I should be thankful for 5 min advance intimation, which is small mercy or get angry with kids or hubby for not telling me on time.

But I guess with guests at door you need to put a smile on the face and greet them, irrespective of whom you want to murder. This recipe is variation of toppings done on biscuits like Monaco or Cream Crackers or Oats biscuits. I make it with whatever vegetables are left in my fridge after last night’s dinner.

I have given it a grand name and I call it Cream Cheese Sweet Corn Crackers.

Ingredients

• I packet of Salted biscuits/ Crackers
• I cup Vegetables chopped finely-( onion, capsicum, bell peppers, carrot , beans)
• Garlic pod- optional
• Vinegar- I tsp
• Chilli sauce- ½ tsp
• Mustard sauce- ½ tsp- optional
• Salt to taste
• ½ tin of cream style corn
• Olive oil or any cooking oil- 1 tbsp
• Grated chesse to put on the top of biscuits about ½ cup
• Chilli flakes

Method

• Heat oil in a pan
• Add garlic and fry for two min and then add the vegetables and sauté for 2-3min
• Add salt and cream style corn
• Sauté for 1min
• Add vinegar and other sauces and mix
• Take a biscuit and put the mixture on the same. Since Crackers are bigger bisucits I put 2 tsp on the same
• Top with some Grated cheese and Chilli flakes
• Grill for 3-4 min and serve hot with ketchup or sweet & sour sauce

Generally they have been a great hit and without people knowing it was done instantly. Incase you donot want to use cream style corn tin, you can put boiled corn and ½ cup of white sauce to give the same effect

Other variation if you do not want cheesy kind but tangy replace this with baked beans and follow the same steps.

This goes well with high tea or drinks or kids menu. This looks very tempting and pleasing to the eyes. You can be creative on the toppings.
