Cheddar & Chutney Grilled Cheese

Source of Recipe

From "Modern Comfort Food" by Ina Garten


Recipe Introduction

"Isn't a really good grilled cheese sandwich the ultimate comfort food? This isn't Wonder Bread with some mystery cheese inside—it's bakery white bread piled high with extra-sharp Cheddar and savory chutney to brighten the flavor. A bowl of Creamy Tomato Bisque to go with it wouldn't hurt either."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 12 (¼-inch-thick) slices good bakery white bread
â—¦ ¼ pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
â—¦ 1 (8.5-ounce) jar mango chutney, such as Stonewall Kitchen
â—¦ 3 cups grated extra-sharp white Cheddar (8 ounces)


Recipe

Lay 6 slices of the bread on a cutting board and brush each slice generously with the butter. Turn the slices over and spread each one with 1 ½ tablespoons of the chutney. Place ½ cup of the Cheddar evenly on each slice and place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top of each sandwich. Brush the tops generously with melted butter.

Heat a panini press (see note) and grill the sandwiches according to the directions for the machine, until the bread is nicely browned on both sides and the cheddar is starting to melt.

Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and cut each one in half diagonally. Serve hot.

Makes 6 sandwiches



• Note:
If you don't have a panini press, you can make these in a sauté pan with a small skillet on top.
