Cheddar, Ham and Homemade Mango Chutney Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Our ideal grilled cheese sandwich combines gooey, melted cheddar, sweet homemade mango chutney and salty ham between two slices of country bread, grilled until crisp and golden brown. It's heavenly.
Servings: 2
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 slices 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Flip the sandwiches, replace the skillet and cook until the other side is brown and the cheddar is melted, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
- Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and cut each one in half diagonally. Serve hot.
