Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Thick slices of bread
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green chilies, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the cheese and chili mixture evenly over the unbuttered side of each bread slice.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, cheese side up.
Transfer the baking sheet to the broiler or grill and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the toasts from the broiler or grill and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Slice the toasts in halves or quarters, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
