For the Topping

    For the Topping
  1. Put the cheese spread in a deep bowl.
  2. To this, add the grated mozzarella cheese. The reason for adding 2 types of cheeses is that the cheese spread gives creaminess while mozzarella gives the stringy texture.
  3. Now add the finely chopped black olives. You can even cut them into slices but finely chopped olives are easier to spread on toast.
  4. Now add the finely chopped jalapenos. We have used the pickled jalapenos as the fresh ones would be very spicy. Both olives and jalapenos add a salty, sour taste to the toast.
  5. Add the mixed dried herbs. This is a prepacked mix sold which contains dried oregano, parsley, rosemary and thyme.
  6. Finally add the milk and salt.
  7. Mix well with a spoon till everything is evenly incorporated. Keep aside.

How to Proceed for the Toast

    How to Proceed for the Toast

I have tried all diffrent toppings on a toast but had never tried jalapenos with olives before. I love the way the melted mozerella tastes. Yummm. Such a nice cheesy and tangy taste. Perfect for a cocktail party or even as a snack.
