Onion, Tomato and Cheese Open Toast: The 10-Minute Delight
The Onion, Tomato and Cheese Open Toast is a perfect desi snack that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. This simple yet satisfying recipe, also known as the 10 minute sandwich or Indian open toasted sandwich, is convenience incarnate. Made with readily available ingredients and requiring minimal preparation, this snack appeals to everyone in the family. When you bite into this treat, you'll experience the delicious combination of the gooeyness of the cheese and the crunch of the perfectly baked bread.
Crafting the Creamy Topping
The secret to this snack is the quick, flavorful topping. In a bowl, combine the fresh vegetables: 21 cup chopped onionand 21 cup chopped tomato. To bind these and provide richness, add the dairy components: 41 cup grated processed cheese, 2 tbsp soft butter, and 2 tsp milk. For a bit of heat, include 1 tsp finely chopped green chillies and salt to taste. Mix all these ingredients well. If you are Jain, you can easily avoid onions and add capsicum instead. Once mixed, divide the topping into 8 equal portions and set it aside.
Preparing the Bread Base
The base of this crunchy onion tomato toast is simple but crucial. You will need 8 bread slices. This recipe is excellent for using up leftover bread slices. Place the bread slices on a clean, dry surface and spread them lightly with little butter (using 8 tsp butter in total for all slices). This first layer of butter prevents the bread from drying out during the initial bake and adds flavor.
The First Bake: Achieving the Perfect Crunch
To achieve that signature crunch, the bread is baked in two stages. Place all the bread slices on a greased baking tray with buttered sides facing upwards. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180∘C (360∘F) for 4 to 5 minutes. This initial baking step toasts the bread slightly, creating a firm foundation that can hold the moist topping without becoming soggy. The result is a crisp texture that appeals to the "bread lovers" camp!
The Second Bake: Melting the Cheesy Goodness
Once the bread slices are lightly toasted, remove them from the oven. Spread a portion of the topping evenly on each baked bread slice. Make sure the topping is distributed from edge to edge. Now, put the tray back into the oven and again bake in a pre-heated oven at 180∘C (360∘F) for another 4 to 5 minutes. This second bake melts the cheese, heats the vegetables, and binds the topping, creating that desired gooeyness.
Serving the Indian Open Toasted Sandwich
The Onion, Tomato and Cheese Open Toast must be served immediately after the second bake to enjoy the best texture and heat. There is no need for an elaborate serving procedure—just a side of tomato ketchup will do! This simple recipe successfully blends the flavor of cheese and the crunch of toast, making it a highly satisfying snack for everyone.
