How To Make Chilli Cheese Toast?
To make delicious Chilli Cheese Toast, follow the simple instructions below –
- Set the oven to 200 degrees C.
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, except for the coriander and the cheese. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Top each slice with an even layer of the mixture. Then, add some cheddar or parmesan cheese, followed by some mozzarella cheese and some coriander leaves.
- Put the sheet on the upper rack of your oven and use the broil/grill setting to toast the cheese bread for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden (not brown) – the time will vary depending on your oven size and setting (I use the grill-fan setting which makes it faster in my oven). I recommend you watch them closely and don’t leave them unattended. Cheese can burn quickly.
- When they are done, take them out of the oven and slice each piece into triangles with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
- Enjoy them hot with some tea or coffee.
Chilli Cheese Toast Recipe in Hindi (चिली चीज टोस्ट कैसे बनाएं?)
स्वादिष्ट चिली चीज़ टोस्ट बनाने के लिए, नीचे दिए गए सरल निर्देशों का पालन करें –
- ओवन को 200 डिग्री सेल्सियस पर सेट करें।
- धनिया और चीज़ को छोड़कर सभी सामग्री को एक कटोरे में मिला लें। ब्रेड स्लाइस को बेकिंग शीट पर व्यवस्थित करें।
- प्रत्येक टुकड़े के ऊपर मिश्रण की एक समान परत डालें। फिर, कुछ चेडर या परमेसन चीज़ डालें, उसके बाद कुछ मोज़ेरेला चीज़ और कुछ धनिया पत्ती डालें।
- शीट को अपने ओवन के ऊपरी रैक पर रखें और पनीर ब्रेड को लगभग 5-7 मिनट तक या जब तक वे सुनहरे हो जाएं, टोस्ट करने के लिए ब्रोइल/ग्रिल सेटिंग का उपयोग करें। मेरा सुझाव है कि आप उन पर बारीकी से नजर रखें, चीज़ जल्दी जल सकता है.
- जब वे पक जाएं, तो उन्हें ओवन से बाहर निकालें और पिज्जा कटर या तेज चाकू से प्रत्येक टुकड़े को त्रिकोण में काट लें।
- चाय या कॉफ़ी के साथ गरमागरम इनका आनंद लें।
