Cream cheese sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 cups full fat milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp boiled corn
- 2 tbsp chopped red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped green capsicum
- 2 tbsp chopped onion
- 2 tbsp chopped tomato
- 2 tbsp chopped carrot
- 1/2 tsp oregano/ seasoning
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/4 cup grated cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 6 slices bread
Steps
- In a saucepan, set over medium heat, pour milk heat till it becomes warm.
- Add two tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir constantly. Keep the flame on medium low and a few minutes later add the remaining two tablespoons of lemon juice while stirring the mixture. The mixture will curdle. Let this come to a simmer, we don’t need any rapid boils.
- Pour into the lined strainer and drain until the mixture are cool enough to handle. Optional: rinse with cold water for a milder flavor, then drain again. Gather the cloth and squeeze firmly to remove excess whey. Let it sit undisturbed for 15 minutes.
- In a food processor, add in the strained mixture after it has been sitting for some minutes. Add in salt and blitz till it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If the cream cheese looks too dry, you can add some of the strained liquid and blitz it again till you reach desired consistency.
- Take 1/4 cup cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add onion, 2 tablespoon green capsicum, 2 tablespoon red capsicum, 2 tablespoon sweet corn, 2 tablespoon carrot grated, cheese along with salt to taste, mixed herbs, chilli flakes… Mix it well. Now the filling is ready.
- Trim the edges of the bread slices. Spread butter which is at room temperature on one side. Now add around 2-3 tablespoon filling on one bread slice. Close with other bread slice with buttered side down.
- Heat a tava and toast the prepared sandwich until golden from both sides. Repeat the same with other bread slices.
- Serve cream cheese sandwich hot with tea/coffee/milkshake.
