Reviews
This is nothing more than cream style corn on a piece of toast, buy hey what’s not to love about that. I added a minced jalapeno for a little heat. Very good corn and would be even better as a side dish so you can eat more of it!
I’ve made this several times as a side dish. In a word…awesome!
I made this recipe yesterday and it was very tasty. I omitted the bread and served it as a side dish. Even the kids liked it. I will make this again.
I made the whole Penny Saving Picnic of meal components for dinner tonight, and everything was great. But this Corn Bread Crostini was over-the-top fabulous. We all loved it. I used a three-cheese bread for the crostini. Wow. This would be an easy and well-received addition to any appetizer party, and it’s an awesome side dish, too.
