Colorful Crostini (Under 15 mins)

So far I have given several spicy game party snack ideas for your upcoming Superbowl gathering. Here is another one, but the beauty of this recipe is it is quick, simple, colorful,  crispy, crunchy, yummy and will be ready in 15 minutes. Voila!! don't you call it a super bowl snack keeper recipe! The basic idea is same as Jalapeno Crostini (meant for spicy lovers) that made few years ago for Super Bowl. Here is the recipe, Njoy!
Colorful Corn, Peas Cranberry Crostini

Ingredients:
French Bread or Italian Bread - 10 slices
Sweet Corn - 1/2 cup (frozen)
petite peas  - 1/2 cup ( frozen)
dried Cranberries - 1/3 cup
salt - 1/2 tsp
black pepper - 1/4 tsp
olive oil - 1 Tbsp
dry basil - 1 tsp ( optional)



Method:
  1. Pre-Heat Oven at 350 F.
  2. Thaw the Sweet corn and Peas in the microwave for 1 min.  Take a Small bowl and, mix Corn, Peas, Dried Cranberries and add salt and black pepper. 
  3. Arrange the bread slices on the baking sheet. Mix dry basil into Olive oil and brush the loaf (bread) with Oil.
  4. Add a spoonful of corn and pea mixture on to bread slice and spread it evenly.
  5. Place this baking sheet in the oven and bake it for 10 min. 
  6. Once it is done (you will notice golden edges on the bread) take them out of the oven and serve them warm and have them immediately not to lose any flavor. Yummm, I know now you are ready to make another batch...these quick bites are quite addictive!


Enjoy the Game with the Crispy Colorful Crostini!


Tips:
  • Today I have used Italian Bread in this recipe,to make the spreading easier, I have spread the mixture on the each half ( foot long) and baked it and then sliced into 1 inch width sticks. 
  • If you use French Pre-sliced loaf it will be less thick than Italian bread and become more crispy and you will get defined uniform Crostini. 

Wish you a Great Superbowl Weekend!
Take Care until we meet here..
