Ingredients
- 4 lices sandwich bread white most typical (see notes)
- 1 ½ tablespoon butter softened, approximately
- 3 oz cheddar approximately, cut in slices
- 1 tomato giving 4 slices
- ⅓ onion approximately, cut into very thin slices
- 2 tablespoon mango chutney or Mrs Balls, if available, approximately
Instructions
- Lay the slices of bread on a flat surface and spread one side of each slice evenly with a thin layer of butter. Turn over the slices of bread.
- One two slices of the bread, top the un-buttered side with a layer of cheese slices (or you can grate the cheese and add a pile if you prefer). Top the cheese with slices of tomato and onion to give a thin layer of each.
- On the other two slices of bread, spread a layer of chutney, as you would jam, on the un-buttered side. Top the chutney slices on top of the cheese slices to give two sandwiches, both with butter on the outside of both sides.
- Place the sandwiches in a hinged basket to grill over a medium-low grill/barbecue if cooking that way, or else cook on a grill pan or panini press over medium heat.
- Turn the sandwiches once the side nearest the heat has turned a golden brown color and is gently crisp. The cheese should be starting to melt at this stage, or else reduce the heat/move further from the heat source. By the time the second side is browned, the cheese should be nicely melty. Enjoy warm, but let it cool briefly as the chutney can be very hot.
Notes
- A plain white sandwich bread is the most typical - while less traditional a sourdough or eg honey oat would work too, but make sure it's a bread without larger air pockets so fillings don't escape.
- Note all quantities are approximate as it will depend a little on the size of your bread slices and other ingredients, as well as your taste.
