Here is my recipe for Cheese Chilli Toast.

Ingredients:

• 3 cubes of cheese (grated)
• 4 slices of wheat bread
• 3-4 teaspoons of finely chopped capsicum
• 2-3 tablespoons of boiled corns
• 1½ tablespoons of red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs
• 1 tablespoon of black pepper powder
• Butter, as required
• Salt, as required

Procedure:

Step 1: Apply a ½ teaspoon of butter to the top of all the bread slices.

Step 2: To toast the bread slices, grill them in a preheated oven at 210⁰c  for about 4-5 minutes. The top of the bread slices turns brown and crispy. Keep them aside. 

Step 3: In a bowl, mix grated cheese, finely chopped capsicum, and boiled corns. To this, add red chili flakes, black pepper powder, mixed herbs and a pinch of salt. Mix it well.

Precaution: Carefully add salt to the mixture as the cheese and butter already contains some salt.

Step 4: Flip the sides of the bread, so that the brown and crispy side of the bread slices faces down. Apply a ½ teaspoon of butter to the top of each slice of the bread.

Step 5: Apply the cheese topping on the toasted bread slices. 

Step 6: Grill it in the preheated oven at 210⁰c for about 4-5 minutes and serve hot.
