Tasty Chilly Cheese Toast

Cheese is much loved food.  From kids to the elderly,  everyone enjoys a well made dish with cheese. A very popular dish at my home is Masala CheeseTtoast. We sometimes have it as a Sunday breakfast. On other occasions as  a tea time or after work snack and sometimes even as a Sunday evening meal accompanied with a bowl of soup. It's pretty simple to make and really delicious,  though  high on calories.



Ingredients

4-6 slices of bread
2 eggs
100 gms of cheese grated
1 cup milk
4 tblsps  maida or cornflour
1 small onion finely chopped
1 green chilly finely chopped
A few coriander leaves finely chopped ( optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tspn butter
Oil for frying

Method

Break eggs in a flat bowl and beat well. Slowly start mixing in the maida with a little milk,alternating  gradually  till you have a thick mixture. Now mix  in the grated cheese and blend  well. Add salt, pepper, green chillies,onion, coriander  and mix well so that you have a thick mayonnaise like mixture. Taste for accuracy of salt. Heat oil in a kadhai. When hot, reduce the flame. Take 1 slice of bread at a time and evenly spread out the egg cheese mixture to cover the entire surface and slowly put the slice into the hot oil with the wet side facing downwards. Let the slice fry while occasionally moving it around till it is golden brown on the cheesy side. Now turn it over and let the other side also fry to Golden Brown. Drain out any excess oil and place on tissue. Cut each slice into 2 traingles diagonally. Similarly fry  all slices , arrange on a serving tray and serve with tomato ketchup, chilli sauce or green chutney.

You can also have the Low-Fat version by baking it in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
