Chilli cheese toast with Jalapeño peppers
Description
The Chilli cheese toast with Jalapeño peppers recipe begins by dry-toasting thick bread slices on one side for a crispy crust. Mayonnaise is spread on the untoasted side to add moisture and flavor. A mix of grated cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeño slices, chopped chives, and minced garlic creates a spicy, savory topping.
Under the oven grill set about 15cm away, the cheese topping melts and slightly caramelizes, providing a golden and bubbly texture with some heat from the jalapeños. The avocado slices placed on top or served alongside add a creamy, cooling element balancing the spice.
This toast can be enjoyed as a snack or light meal, offering a combination of crunchy toasted bread, melted sharp cheese, spicy peppers, and fresh avocado. Additional herbs or spring onions can be added for extra freshness.
Ingredients
- 2 bread thick slices
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise one for each slice
- 100 grams cheddar cheese grated
- 30 grams jalapeños sliced, if not already sliced, pickled
- 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic minced or finely chopped
- 1 avocado Sliced into thin slices
Instructions
- Place a frying pan over a high heat and dry-toast the two slices of bread on one side only. Fry until golden and toasty.
- Turn the bread toast side down onto a small baking tray. Spread one teaspoon of mayonnaise onto the untoasted side of each slice.
- In a bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeños, chopped chives and garlic.
- Divide the cheese mixture between the two slices of bread.
- Turn on the grill of the oven and place the baking tray with the two slices of bread below it. Don't be tempted to put it too close to the grill, a distance of 15cm is a good spot for slow and equal grilling.
- Keep a close eye on the toast. Remove from the oven once all the cheese is melted and you have some caramelisation in a few spots.
- Add the slices of avocado on top, or have it as a side. You can also add additional chilli or chives on top, or a few thin slices of spring onion.
