Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your toaster oven to toast mode.
Lay the bread slices on a clean work surface. Lightly spread a thin layer of softened butter over the top of each slice.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green chilies, red chili flakes, minced garlic, chopped parsley or cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the buttered bread slices, spreading it to cover the surface completely.
Place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the chili cheese toasts from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice each toast into triangles or serve whole as desired.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your spicy, cheesy snack!
