Cheesy Bread Cups | Easy Snacks

Anything Cheesy is bound to be a kids favourite. But if its healthy, moms are happy too. This is one often repeated recipe as an after school snack. I have made it so many times but forgot to click as we got busy eating them eah time:) 

Now the lil one also imitates her elder sister and wanted a bite too, and then loved it. The fillings for this snack is so versatile you can go with almost anything - bell peppers, drained black beans, cooked lentils / peas, boiled corn. Its also a great way to use leftover dry curries :p

As much as  presentation is key to any kid's dish, its also important to keep it fuss free. So its a great make-ahead for kids parties too - do let me know how you liked it.. am sure you would make this soon ! 

Sending this over to Day 2 of Kids healthy snack box theme at BM#43 and also to Beluah's who's hosting Bake Fest#34, Harini who's hosting Valli's Kids Delight.

Step by step process

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 160 Deg C. Grease the muffin pans with butter or oil or cooking spray

Filling:

1. In a pan, heat oil. Saute onions and bell peppers till crunchy (about 4 mins). 
2. Add ginger garlic paste, turmeric and saute again
3. Now add boiled corn, mashed n boiled potato and stir gently.
4. Add tomato ketchup, salt, garam masala powder, red chilli powder and mix again.
5. Let this mixture cool completely.

To make the bread cups :

1. Trim the bread cups lightly (I used them as it is). Flatten them gently with a rolling pin and gently press in the centre on to the greased muffin pans (one in each dimple)
2. Spray a little more oil on the top of the bread slices and gently spoon in 2-3 teaspoon of the filling.
3. Place cheese slices on top (I just cut them into strips for an elegant look)
4. Bake for 8-10 mins till cheese slightly melts.
5. Demould carefully and serve immediately.
