Ingredients
- 4 slices of whole wheat or multigrain bread
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
- ½ cup finely chopped bell peppers (red, green, yellow)
- ½ cup finely chopped onions
- ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes (seeded to avoid sogginess)
- ¼ cup grated carrots
- ¼ cup finely chopped spinach (optional)
- 1 green chili (finely chopped, optional for spice)
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust as per taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for spreading)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggie Mixture – In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, grated carrots, spinach, and green chili. Add oregano, red chili flakes, black pepper powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add Cheese – Add grated mozzarella (or your preferred cheese blend) to the veggie mixture. Mix gently to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Bread – Take bread slices and lightly butter one side. If using mayonnaise, spread a thin layer on the unbuttered side for extra creaminess.
- Assemble the Toast – Evenly spread the prepared veggie-cheese mixture over the buttered bread slices. Press slightly so the toppings stick well.
- Toast on Stovetop – Heat a non-stick pan or tawa on low-medium heat. Place the prepared bread slices with the topping side up. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the bottom becomes golden brown.
- Bake Option – If using an oven, preheat it to 375°F (190°C). Place the bread slices on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve Hot – Once the cheesy veggie toast is ready, remove it from the pan or oven. Cut into halves or quarters and serve hot with ketchup, chili sauce, or a dip of your choice.
