A delightful and easy-to-make appetizer featuring a cheesy chili spread on toasted bread.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a crispy texture for the bread.
Slice the French bread into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Use a serrated knife for clean and even slices.
Toast one side of the bread slices in the oven until lightly golden.
Toasting the bread prevents it from becoming soggy when the spread is added.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped green chilies, softened butter, minced garlic, mayonnaise, and shredded cheese.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and a smoother spread.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly on the untoasted side of each bread slice.
Spread generously to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
Place the bread slices back in the oven and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Keep an eye on the toasts while broiling to prevent burning.
Serve the toasts warm and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
