Chilli Cheese Toast is a hot cheesy bread version made by toasting bread layered with cheese & capsicum. Chilli Cheese Toast is an anytime snack and a good option for breakfast too. How to make Chilli Cheese Toast is explained in this post with step by step pictures.
I have tasted chilli cheese toast only once when I was working in Chennai and I was not a big fan of it. Ever since I started making bread pizza at home I wanted to try chilli toast too.I have given both methods as readers and friends keep asking me about making toast without a oven.
Last month I tried it to post it here but my luck the current went off just after I kept it in the oven so the cheese had not browned making it look so pale not so perfect for the clicks too. The power supply is totally unpredictable at times and this keeps me in an super tension mode whenever I keep anything for baking.
I made it at home few days back and we loved the toast. The spiciness in the chillies is compensated by the cheese……crispy toast with bubbling cheese and hot chillies – yummm!

Chilli Cheese Toast
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 3 tbsp cheese I used mozzarella
- 2 green chillies thin long variety
- 2 tbsp green capsicum cubed
- 1/2 tsp pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp italian seasoning optional
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut green chillies finely, cube the capsicum – set aside.
- Take grate cheese in a bowl and mix green chillies and capsicum with it.Add pepper and salt.
- Take the bread slice and apply the cheese chilli mixture.Sprinkle seasoning.
- Meanwhile preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins and bake it at the same temperature for 3-5mins until cheese melts completely.
- Then turn the knob to grill mode and grill it for 3mins till the cheese bubbles and starts browning.
- Cut diagonally and serve hot with tomato sauce!
Stove top method :
- Toast the bread slightly till crisp in dosa tawa.
- Then spread the cheese chilli mixture and place it on the tawa again with cheese side up…
- Do not flip..Cook till cheese melts and serve hot.
- The browning of cheese will be missing in the stove stop method but it will still taste good.
- You can garnish with coriander leaves finally on top of the cheese mixture.
Notes
- You can add colour capsicums like yellow and red to make the toast colorful or deseed the tomatoes and add it.
- I used mozzarella cheese, you can even use cheddar cheese too. Use long green chillies as it is less spicy.

Hi Sharmi,
Very nice post…i have doubt…In stove top method if we toast the bread in both the sides dont the cheese get melted in the tawa and stick to it?? please clarify…I am sorry if it is silly to ask….
Thanks,
Priya.

I tried toasting bread in an OTG in the toast mode. The toast was very crispy like a rusk instead of being soft in the centre.. in what mode , temperature and time should I toast bread?
Sharmilee J
In oven it will be very crispy..so just toast in 150 deg C for may be 5mins
