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.
