Preparing paneer stuffing

Now grate 1 cup mozarella cheese and set aside.

Take the bread slices. You can slice off the side crusts if you prefer.

Spread a bit of butter or oil on a heavy skillet or tawa.  Keep the heat to its lowest. Do use a heavy skillet or frying pan or else the bread can get too much browned or burnt from the bottom. Also keep the heat to its lowest when making the entire recipe.

Then place the bread slices on it. You can keep 2 to 3 bread slices at a time depending on the size of the tawa or pan. You can use any variety of bread like white bread, whole wheat or brown bread or multi grain bread.

Lightly toast the bread slices and then flip them.

Now quickly top the bread slices with the paneer stuffing.

Top with grated mozzarella cheese. You can also use cheddar cheese, processed cheese or pizza cheese.

Keep the heat to its lowest. Place a lid on paneer cheese toast slices.

Cook till cheese melts and the bread slices are toasted well.

Remove with a spatula and place the paneer cheese toast slices on a serving plate or tray. Sprinkle some red chili flakes or oregano if you want. Red chili flakes can be skipped.

Serve Paneer Toast hot or warm accompanied with coriander chutney, mint chutney, tomato ketchup, chilli sauce or sriracha sauce.
