Corn Bruschetta

This is a quick and easy delicious recipe. Serving creamed corn over toasted bread makes a great appetizer. This can also be served as a side dish.

  • 2 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour (maida or plain flour)
  • 1/2 cup finally chopped red bell pepper (capsicum or shimla mirch)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tbsp cumin seeds (jeera)
  • 1/4 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese or Italian mix cheese
  • 1 seeded and minced green chili
  • Some fresh cilantro leaves
  • Bread of your choice ((I like French or sourdough bread))

  1. In a sauce pan cook the milk and corn kernels until corn is tender. Stir the corn occasionally making sure it doesn’t burn in the bottom of the pan.

  2. Add the all purpose flour and lightly mash the corn using the food processor or blender, (do not make the paste).

  3. Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if seed cracks right away oil is ready.

  4. When the cumin seeds crack add the corn mixture, black pepper, salt and red bell pepper.

  5. Stir and reduce the heat to medium. This should take 2 to 3 minutes.

  6. Next stir the cheese and close the heat.

  7. Corn should be in the consistency of a spread not very dry.

  8. Serve over toasted bread and garnish with minced green chili and cilantro.

Serving Suggestion

Serve the creamed corn as a side dish.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Naveena

    Hey Aunty,

    Tried many of ur recipes and they turn out very well.Corn Bruchetta was also the best amongst all.

    Thank you

  9. Lyan A.

    Great! Tip: If you are using a blender, do not blend it a lot! Also, you can use rye bread, then cut the pieces in halves. 😀

  10. Swathi Rao

    Awesome recipe, my family’s favorite. I usually roast cibatta bread with oil tossed on it, in the oven, and then use this spread. The taste is heavenly. Thanks for a very good recipe.

  11. Lyan A.

    this looks yummy i wil definitely try dis!!!

  18. Raja

    If all your demontrated recipes are 100% vegetarian, please dont use parmesan cheese. It contains animal fat (rennet).

    example: 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese

    1. Jaya

      Raja and everyone, you can buy cheeses made with non-animal rennet. Check at health food and natural food stores. Large supermarkets may also carry it.

      1. Raja

        Thanks Jaya,
        There is no ‘parmesan cheese’ without rennet. HOWEVER, there are vegetarian “Italian-style” hard cheeses that make a pretty good substitute for Parmesan.

        Note: Parmesan cheese is an iconic hard cheese originally from Italy, widely used and produced all over the world. Within Europe, Parmesan cheese is a protected cheese, meaning that only cheeses made in a certain way in a certain area of Italy can be labeled as Parmesan cheese. Outside of Europe, many generic cheeses use the Parmesan label. The distinctively salty, slightly granular cheese has many uses in Italian cuisine such as a topping for pastas and pizzas, and as a crucial ingredient in some sauces.

        Parmesan Cheese is not vegetarian: Visit this site below…

      Raja you bring up an interesting topic of “how vegetarian is vegetarian”. For example, Yoplait yogurts (certain ones) contain gelatin. I contacted the company and they said it is beef based!

      Also, vitamins and other pills may contain animal based gelatin, usually beef. A US brand of vitamins, Viactiv, does not contain any gelatin.

      Jello (the colorful wiggly stuff that kids like) is made from animal based gelatin too.

      1. Liane Albert

        Hi Jaya,
        Wow – good research on the yogurt topic. It kind of reminds me of when you go out to eat at any type of Asian restaurant (Chinese, Japanese, Thai) – most of them, if you ask for vegetarian think that if it doesn’t have meat in it, then to them, it’s vegetarian. Just about all of their sauces and bases will have oyster, fish sauce or other preparations that are not truly vegetarian. I had to explain this to my husband who is Indian and vegetarian. You can ask them to make it without these items but especially for Thai, I find the flavor not quite the same – it’s amazing what a few drops of fish sauce does to thai curries and their tom ka khai soup. My comments really don’t add much to the conversation but I just thought I’d bring it up.
        Just curious – do you have a blog of your own or email address that I can contact you at? You are very knowledgable and I’d love to chat with you some time. You can reach me at lianealbert@homail.com – I think we have a lot of similarities when it comes to our cooking philosophies!

  27. Aishwarya

    Dear Aunty,

    Apart from bread, with what else can this be served as side dish

  28. Radhika

    Very very yummy! Perfect balance of flavours!

  29. Anjali

    Auntie,

    Could I use corn from a can or the corn kernels has to be from fresh corn? please let me know.

  30. Vani

    Hi,
    Wonderful recipe. Everybody enjoyed it including kids. Thanks.

  31. Liane Albert

    Hi Priya,
    I hope you don’t mind me chiming in – I have a feeling that using canned cream corn would give the bruchetta too much of a mushy consistancy. That is the way canned cream corn is. I think if you use the kernels and cook it in milk the way the recipe says to, it will retain the proper consistancy and texture as well and you won’t wind up with a bowl of gooey mush!

  32. priya

    can i use creamed corn available in grocery store instead of cooking them in milk?

  33. Adelina

    Very nice recipe, beautiful picture and clear instructions! a must try for this summer, now that corn is in season!

  34. jimi

    Auntiji,

    please tell me how is the test of corn mixture you prepared, will it be sour, hot, or sour-&- Sweet or something else???

    1. Manjula Jain

      Jimi,
      Light sweet and saltish.

  35. Khadija

    i have much corn leftover this will be gret to make thanks
