Ingredients

  • 4 thick-cut slices good Pullman or rustic bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons homemade or good store-bought mango chutney (see recipe below)
  • 4 lices good ham we like Bistro or Paris-style ham
  • 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar 3 ounces (we recommend a 1:1 mix of Cabot Medium Cheddar and Cabot Pepper Jack)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Lay the bread on a work surface and spread each slice evenly with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Turn the slices over and spread each one with a heaping tablespoon of the chutney. Divide the cheese between the 4 slices. Add the ham to 2 of the slices and place the remaining bread on top of each sandwich.
  2. Heat a large skillet on medium-low and add the sandwiches. Place a moderately heavy skillet on top of the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes.
  3. Flip the sandwiches, replace the skillet and cook until the other side is brown and the cheddar is melted, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  4. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and cut each one in half diagonally. Serve hot.
