Chilli Cheese Toast is a very popular breakfast or snack item among kids. Its more like an open sandwich with onions and bell peppers and we at home love to have it spicy and piping hot. When served along with a chilled fruit juice, it makes a perfect breakfast. This also happens to be my kids favorite evening snack. They have learned to make it by themselves and all I do is chop the vegetables for them. They grate the cheese, arrange the slices on the pan and operate the microwave themselves. These toasts that you see here is also done by them. All I did was chop the veggies and clicked them once it was done.

According to my friend J’s dad, these cheese toasts used to be a popular canapé item that was served in star hotels several years ago. When cut into bite sized pieces these will make great appetizer at any party.
