Garlic and Chili Cheese Toast

Cooking Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients above in a medium mixing bowl. Blend well and spoon 1/2 c. of the mixture onto each slice.  

2. In a toaster oven, toast slices on medium/medium-high setting and serve hot.

A family favorite! The flavor of cheddar blends surprisingly well with the garlic and fresh chilies when toasted. This dish is spicy but very tasty!
