Recipe Notes
Add salt carefully as the butter and cheese already has salt. You can also skip adding salt if needed.
If making for kids, then skip the green chilies or reduce the amount of chopped chilies.
You could top the bread with some green olives or black olives.
Instead of green chillies, you can opt to add red chilli flakes.
Feel free to add your choice of seasonings and spice mixes. Various dried herbs, cajun seasoning, pizza seasonings work well.
Garlic can be added instead of ginger.
