Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 4-ounce can Canned green chiles, diced (mild or hot, as preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic powder and ground black pepper until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly onto one side of each bread slice, ensuring each slice is fully covered.
Place the buttered bread slices on the prepared baking sheet, buttered side up.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and diced green chiles. Mix well to evenly distribute the chiles throughout the cheese.
Spoon the cheese and chile mixture onto each bread slice, spreading it out to cover the top evenly.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
If you prefer a slightly crispier topping, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the toasts from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Green Chile Cheese Toast!
