Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, chopped green chilies, red chili flakes, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If you prefer extra creaminess, mix in a tablespoon of mayonnaise.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Spread a light layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
  • Place two slices on the baking tray, butter side down.
  • Evenly spread the cheese mixture over the slices.
  • Cover with the remaining slices, butter side up.

Step 4: Bake the Sandwiches

  • Place the tray in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping the sandwiches halfway through for even crispiness.
  • For an extra golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Once golden and crispy, remove the sandwiches from the oven. Let them cool for a minute before slicing. Serve hot with ketchup, chili sauce, or a side of fresh salad.


Tips for the Perfect Baked Chilli Cheese Sandwich:

  • Customize the spice level: Add more or fewer green chilies based on your heat preference.
  • Experiment with cheese: Try a mix of gouda, parmesan, or pepper jack for unique flavors.

  • Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free bread for a celiac-friendly version.
