Ingredients
4thick-cut slices good Pullman or rustic bread
2tablespoonsunsalted butterroom temperature
4tablespoonshomemade or good store-bought mango chutney (see recipe below)
4slicesgood hamwe like Bistro or Paris-style ham
1 1/2cupsgrated cheddar3 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.
