This chili toast recipe is made under the grill. You can also make it in a flat pan or tawa.
Variations
Toastie - The toast can also be made into a sandwich too if you prefer. Just add a slice of bread on top and pop into a sandwich maker or toast. You can add a light smothering of butter or mayo to the outside before grilling.
Cheese - Use your preferred cheese here. I like to use both cheddar and mozzarella cheese and sometimes red liecester too.
Veg - You can add finely chopped veg such as Spring Onions, chopped Peppers or Herbs such as Chives.
This chilli cheese toast is delicious and here are the keys to the mouth watering flavour:
- Garlic and Chilli Butter - Finely sliced garlic, coriander and chilli is mashed into butter and then a thin coating is applied to the bread. It adds delicious flavour.
- A mix of Cheeses - You can use whatever you like here, but using a mix of cheese adds depth and complexity. We used a blend of sharp cheddar and mozzarella.
- A pinch of Salt and Black Pepper - Sounds simple, but a pinch of salt and pepper heightens all the flavours and brings everything together.
