Chilli cheese toast is a quick and delicious Indian snack! Spicy and cheesy….simply yum! It’s not to be confused with the chilli you get here in the US. It’s a simple, open-faced toast with cheese and lots of spicy green chillies. Well, it’s not the healthiest snack out there, but it is alright to indulge in junk food once in a while, no? I just added colored bell peppers and corn to make this a little colorful :p
HOW TO MAKE CHILLI CHEESE TOAST?
There isn’t any recipe for this as such. Simply mix cheese with chillies and some seasoning. These are the quantities I used, so you can use them as mere guidelines, feel free to add any seasonings, veggies, cheese of your choice 🙂 Once you have your mixture ready, sprinkle it over a toasted slice of bread, and bake until the cheese melts. You can make this veg cheese toast on the tawa/skillet too. I’ve mentioned it in the instructions below. You can use any cheese of your choice, cheddar cheese, processed cheese etc all work well.
SOME VARIATIONS TO THIS SANDWICH-
Masala Chilli Cheese Toast– Sauté some garlic, finely chopped onion and finely chopped veggies of your choice. Add some chilli powder, chaat masala, and salt. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro. Your mixture is ready. Spread this on buttered bread slices, you can also add some green chutney. Sprinkle cheese on top of the veggie mixture and grill until the cheese melts. Chilli Cheese Toast Sandwich– Prepare the same as the recipe below for chilli cheese toast, just cover it with another slice to make a sandwich, spread butter on both the bread slices facing up, grill until golden brown. Cut into diagonals and serve. Cheese Chilli Garlic Toast– Make garlic butter by mixing the required amount of finely minced garlic. Spread this on a slice of bread. Toast it in the oven or a skillet/tawa. Then sprinkle cheese, herbs like oregano, parsley, pizza seasoning or any of your choice and grill until the cheese melts. Veg chilli cheese toast is a great option for an indulgent weekend breakfast or as a snack with a piping hot cuppa! Moreover, it’s an attractive snack for kids too, although you could skip the green chillies altogether. This sure can be made healthier by using low fat cottage cheese instead 🙂

Step by step instructions to make chilli cheese toast.
1.Mix the chopped bell peppers, boiled corn, onion, chillies and garlic in a bowl. Add salt, pepper & oregano. Mix well. Combine the shredded cheese in another bowl set aside.
2.Lightly butter the bread slices and toast them on a skillet/ tawa until light golden brown, transfer to a plate.
3.Now spread the prepared veggie mix generously all over the toasted bread slice, top off with shredded cheese, sprinkle some more of the veggie mixture, dried parsley & chilly flakes. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt, and the bread is nice and toasty. Keep an eye, or else it might burn. If you do not have the broil option then bake at 400 degrees F for 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts. To make it on a tawa/skillet- heat the skillet on medium-low heat, then added the prepared toast, cover and let it cook on low heat until the cheese melts. Transfer to a plate, cut into diagonals, serve with sweet chilli sauce/ ketchup.
