Chilli cheese toast recipe is a great idea for evening snacks with a cup of hot tea.It is a wonderful recipe which reminds me of my childhood. Good old days when we were kids and only cheese we knew was Amul cheese.Those days, during our wonder years, oven was not common. We would see patties, khari toast, veg puffs and cheesy toast at our local bakeries. Wonder when we could have those or if we were lucky, a slice of chocolate cake(I still wonder why it was called as a pastry).It was a mini bread pizza when we didn't know what a pizza was & that chilli and peppers also stood for capsicums!
Kids today are so aware of global cuisine be it bagels or pizzas, hakka noodles or tofu nuggets. Sometimes I envy their knowledge at this age. This is a protein packed recipe.I t is a great way of feeding picky kids veggies.Grate some cheese on top and make them finish it.
