    I saved this post for almost an year now in Instagram, a drool-worthy casual shot of chilli cheese toast. Somehow it took this much time to post this simple toast.

    Love my new oven and baking is really interesting. The temperature settings are to be experimented, bit hotter inside the oven, it's pretty good.

    Couple of batches I misjudged the baking time and never thought this would be ready so soon!

    Aj too loved this. We both enjoyed the toast. Green chilli is very finely chopped or minced in this, so it won't be that spicy, so no need to worry.

    🌶 Spice level

    You can also deseed the chilli if needed. If de-seeded, there won't be any spice at all. Also cheese balances it.

    So it's up to you whether you should use as such or deseed it.

    📖 Variations

    • You can add thin rounds of Jalapeno if you have it in stock.
    • Provolone, Italian cheese mix, Mexican cheese mix, pizza cheese anything can be used in place of mozzarella.
    • Add finely chopped capsicum if you like.

     🧤 Oven settings

    Since we are just looking for a golden melt cheese on top of soft bread, I recommend using grill option and use top rack.

    If your oven is too small, you can just go for the middle rack as the top rack might quickly burn the topping.

    Grill mode: It gives maximum heat, browning effect in short time.

    Don't have grill mode? Just go for the highest oven settings in yours and bake it.

    Microwave mode will just melt the cheese and you may not get browning effect at all. So I do not recommend.

    1. Finely chop chilli and coriander leaves. Mincing helps to reduce the spice level of chilli in one bite.

    2. Preheat oven at 220 deg C in grill mode for 5 mins. Refer notes for more. Meanwhile, spread cheese over it evenly as per your spice level.

    3. Place over a baking tray lined with greased butter paper. I used aluminium foil, but please use baking sheets/ butter paper as much as possible.

    bake it

    4. Bake for 2-3 mins or until beautiful golden spots appear as the cheese melts.

    Baked, cut and serve

    Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

        Sure you can. Heat a thick bottom pan, place the bread over it and cook covered until cheese melts.

      Very interesting! I wonder if one could tweak the recipe for non-vegetarians by adding chicken keema to the cheese-chilli mix...

        You can do over tawa over low heat and cover it with a lid for the cheese to melt.
