Chilli Cheese Toast Recipe | Chilli Cheese Sandwich | Chilli Garlic Toast with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Bread or sandwich recipes have become an integral part of Indian street food. These bread are generally toasted with a range of spreads or dips to make it a lip-smacking snack or appetiser. One such hugely popular tasty snack meal is chilli cheese toast known for its sweet and spicy taste with a generous amount of savoury in it.

I had posted this recipe, perhaps during the initial days of my blogging, but I am revisiting it for 2 main reasons. Firstly, the topping I used was not a street style. It had more cheese with less amount of herbs and spices in it. Perhaps, it was more like a simple cheese garlic bread. Whereas this time I have loaded with many desi stuffings to get an authentic desi street style. Secondly and more importantly, in my previous post, I had only one way and I had missed the authentic desi sandwich toast method. In this, I have shown both ways with a single topping and hence you may prepare either one or both ways. Having said that, if you do not have a sandwich toast, you may very well use just the toaster or grill to prepare it. You may have to be cautious with stuffing as it may spill out, especially when it is pressed. Do try this simple way and let me know your thoughts on it.

Firstly, the quality and type of bread used for this recipe matter a lot for this recipe. Particularly use fresh and sturdy bread to make this toast. Basically, the bread should hold up its shape and carries the topping easily. Secondly, I would recommend using cheddar or mozzarella cheese for this recipe. Particularly the cheddar cheese infuses a lot of flavour to the toast when mixed with chillies or jalapeno. Lastly, you can easily adjust the spice level by using more or fewer chilli peppers or even with the amount of cheese. In addition, you may experiment with a blend of cheese or mix different types of cheese to have a unique taste and flavour.
