Instructions
First grate the cheese, and them let it come to room temperature so that its easier to work with. Then transfer the grated cheese to a bowl and add chopped chilies, and chopped green peppers to it. You can also add chopped onions, green onions, tomatoes or corn.
Add salt, pepper and dried oregano. Using a fork or spoon, mix until everything comes together.
Now, take 2 large sourdough bread slices and toasted them in a pan on medium heat until they are lightly toasted and crispy. Then spread butter on the bread slices if you like and spread the cheese mixture equally between the two slices.
Place the bread slices back on the pan and place a small bowl filled with water on the pan as well (on the side). The water evaporates and the steam helps in melting the cheese. Cover the pan and let the cheese melt, around 5 minutes.
Remove the toast from the pan, garnish with cilantro and serve with chutney.
Chilli Cheese Toast Air Fryer Instructions
You can toast the bread first if you like. Then preheat the air fryer according the manufacture's instructions. Then place the bread slices and air fry at 330 F degrees for 4 to 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove carefully, cut into slices and enjoy.
Chilli Cheese Toast Oven Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees. Toast the bread slices until lightly golden brown on both sides in the oven for a few minutes. Then top the bread slices with the cheese mixture and place on a baking sheet and bake at 425 F degrees for 5 to 6 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. You can also broil for a few seconds if you like.
Notes
If you can't find Amul processed cheese, the next best option would be to use cheddar cheese. You can also use mozzarella but that won't be my first recommendation.
Add veggies like onions, tomato to make the toast more colorful and add more flavor to it.
