Chilli cheese toast with Jalapeño peppers
A special treat for cheese toastie fans who like a bit of heat! This recipe for chilli cheese toast contains pickled jalapeños, instead of fresh green or red chillies. We also add garlic for extra flavour, chopped chives and of course, a generous portion of cheddar cheese. This is a super simple but very satisfying lunch time snack that's ready in less than 10 minutes.

Ingredients
- 2 thick slices of bread
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise one for each slice
- 100 grams cheddar cheese grated
- 30 grams pickled jalapenos sliced, if not already sliced
- 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.
