He is not only fond of all that I cook at home but he is even more enthusiastic about getting my recipes -- including the pictures -- into this blog. So I miss him a lot while I cook and my own enthusiasm about cooking and blogging takes a hit. What this means is that on most evenings I generally make do with this Cheesy garlic Toast along with a soup -- a combination that includes vegetables/chicken/egg and is a complete dinner of sorts for me and my husband ! Please try this Cheesy Garlic Toast and I will be back in this week end with a lovely Chicken soup recipe for all of you!!!

Bread D-Lite

Though world-class bread loaves are available at all departmental stores, I always rely on my favourite 20 year old Kidderpore bakery which delivers all kinds of customised oven-fresh bread loaves at my doorstep.
My seventy-two year old father, N L Banerjee loves bread like anything, and this recipe is dedicated to him. He served for a multi-national pharma firm and is now retired for sixteen years.

Ingredients:

• oven-fresh loaf (cut into thick pieces)
• Kissan tomato ketchup
• Kissan cheesy spread
  
• cheese (2 cubes, grated)
  
• egg (2, well beaten)
  
• green chillies (4, finely chopped)
  
• garlic (8 cloves, finely chopped)
  
• onion (1 large, also finely chopped)
• capsicum (1 large, again finely chopped)
• flour (1 tbsp)
• milk (1/2 cup)
• butter (melted 1 tsp)
  
• salt, sugar, and black pepper powder

Procedure:

heat the wok, and dry-fry the flour. Keep aside.
Heat the butter and add garlic, onion, capsicum, and chillies. Saute for 2 mins. Meanwhile beat the egg with cheese, milk and the dry-fried flour, along with salt and a little sugar. Add this mixture to the previous mixture (consisting of the garlic, butter, onion, capsicum, and chillies), and stir so as to ensure that no unwanted lumps form. Add black pepper powder from top, and allow it to cool.
Take the bread pieces and evenly and generously spread Kissan cheesy spread followed by Kissan tomato ketchup  uniformly. Now Spread the previously made giant-mixture evenly and thickly (mind it!) on any ONE side of all the bread pieces, and toast in a pre-heated OTG for 15 minutes.

Serve hot with more Kissan  tomato ketchup.
