Vegetables have never been my friend. Growing up, I was a rice and potato kind of guy. If you gave me some McDonald’s French fries or a classic Aloo Bhujia, then I was more than ecstatic! The struggle for my parents to feed me a balanced diet was real!

One of my real enemies was tomatoes. Unless they were pureed into a sauce, I wouldn’t even want to look at it. Then one day, my grandmother introduced me to this magical sandwich. It has such simple ingredients but together it is something else.
If you don’t like fresh tomatoes or your kids run away from them, I encourage you to try this recipe. I recently learned how a tomato, while technically a fruit has so many health benefits. I will link this article here, you’ll love it!
Essentially tomatoes are great to provide you with:
So here it is, olive oil, onions, tomatoes, chilies, cheese and your favourite bread. Really, that is all! There was this one time when I finished half a loaf of bread just for myself! Things did change a bit when I moved to Canada, the cheese here is not the same. Not to say that its any worse, since ever since I came here, I have been exposed to more varieties of cheese and flavours than I can list on this post.
Growing up, the best, cheapest cheese, which probably was the most common cheese in all households was Amul Cheese. So yes, it is processed cheese but it tastes so good, and I think it’s the saltiness that helps with the flavour.
My favourite cheeses to use with this recipe includes mozzarella, Monterey jack, cheddar and even havarti! Mozzarella, in my opinion is the clear winner if you’re looking for cheese pulls. You can feel free to add a mix of these cheeses, but I have not done so myself.
This spicy masala cheese toast can be made in a couple of easy steps! Begin by heating a pan on medium heat. Add butter or oil to the pan. When the pan is hot, add the onions and sauté until they are lightly browned.
Next add the tomatoes, green chilies and chili powder. Cook until the tomatoes become soft, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5-10 minutes. In the meanwhile, toast your slices of bread.
When your tomatoes are soft but not mushy, turn off the heat and add your cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. Using a spatula, apply the cheese masala to each slice of bread and serve hot!
