Chilli cheese toast sandwich recipe is a great snack.It is a wonderful recipe which reminds me of my childhood. Good old days when we were kids.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.Sometimes I envy their knowledge at this age.This is a protein packed recipe.It is a great way of feeding picky kids veggies.
Grate some cheese on top and make them finish it.
