Prep Veggies – Finely chop/dice the vegetables.
Prepare cheese mixture – Combine the cheese, vegetables and spices in a mixing bowl. Keep aside.

Top bread slices: Spread chili cheese mixture on the toasted bread side.
Toast on Stovetop Tawa: Heat the iron tawa on medium-low heat. Spread some butter and place the bread slice. Cover the glass lid and cook on lowest flame until bread is toasted well and cheese has melted (Takes 4-5 minutes).
Cut it into your desired shape.
Serve Vegetable cheese toast hot with masala chai or milkshake.

If you are making these delicious Chilli toast on Oven then Pre-heat the oven to about 360°F (180°C) for 5 minutes. Place all the bread in a baking tray and bake for about 5 minutes at 360°F (180°C).
Keep an eye on the toast while it is cooking. When the cheese melts and starts to brown slightly on top, turn off the oven and take the vegetable chili cheese toast, and place it on a serving plate.

Preheat the air fryer to 330°F (165°C). Place the bread slice in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 330°F for 5-6 minutes, for 5-6 minutes, until the cheese melts and slightly browns on top. Repeat with other slices.

1. Veggies: You can add vegetables of your choice, like regular or spring onion, olives, sweet corn kernels, and fresh or dried herbs such as parsley or chives.
2. Cheese: You can use cheese as per your choice. I prefer using mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of both. I also like to use Amul processed cheese for this recipe.
3. Toastie: The chilli cheese toast can also be made into a sandwich if you prefer. Just place a slice of bread on top, apply some butter, and grill it in a sandwich maker, or toast the sandwich on the tawa/skillet.
4. Bread: You can also use sourdough bread or French bread loaf.

1. Be sure to cover the bread toast with a glass lid while cooking; this helps the cheese melt quickly.
2. Make ahead: Chili cheese mixture can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
