• In a mixing bowl add 150 grams of grated mozzarella cheese (or cheese of your choice), 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes, 1/2 tsp finely chopped green chilli (adjust the chillies as per preference), 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic (or 1/2 tsp of garlic powder), and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients with a fork and set aside.
• Spread 1/2 tsp butter on one side of the bread slices. Top the buttered side of the bread with 1 tbsp of the chili cheese mixture. Do this to all the bread slices.

On tawa over the stove

• Heat a tawa or flat frying pan on medium heat. Add 1/2 tsp butter to the pan and place 1 to 2 slices of the bread with cheese side up.
• Reduce the heat to low and place a high-rise lid on top of the slices. Let it toast till the cheese melts and the bread has crisped up from the bottom.
• Remove the lid and carefully remove the cheese chilli bread. Repeat for all the slices of bread and serve hot.

In an oven

• To make the cheese chilli toast in an oven, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C for 10 minutes.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper (baking paper) and place the prepared bread slices with the cheese chili mixture.
• Place the tray in the oven and toast for 10-12 minutes, or till the cheese has melted and has started to become golden brown.
• Remove the toasted cheese chilli bread and place it on a wire rack for a few minutes.
• Cut the hot and spicy chilli cheese toasts into smaller pieces and serve with your favourite dip, sauce, or tomato ketchup.
