Hey.. Just wanna know…. Doesn’t the lower side of bread burn till the cheese melts??
nope.. make sure to keep flame on low to medium..
It was very tasty. ..my kid liked this toast
Thanks a lot 🙂
Just tried this recipe. Since I didn’t have the bell pepper so I replaced bell pepper with Mushroom. For melting the cheese, I used the microwave since I was afraid that I’ll burn the toast while waiting for the cheese to melt. Overall, It was really tasty.
Thanks Hebbar for your simple & tasty recipe 🙂
