ALTERNATIVES

  1. 1

    Prep and mise en place

    Gather all ingredients and equipment. Preheat a sturdy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Toast the fry bread

    Spread a thin layer of butter on each fry bread slice. Place in the skillet and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and toast the second side until golden.

  3. 3

    Melt the cheese

    Reduce heat to low-medium. Evenly sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella over each toast. Cover the skillet to trap heat and melt the cheese, about 1–2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add toppings

    Uncover and top melted cheese with tomato slices, jalapeño slices, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Finish with heat

    If desired, drizzle with hot sauce just before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the cheese is molten and the edges of the fry bread stay crisp.
