Follow The Directions

01

Step

Generously spread mango chutney onto two slices of bread, ensuring even distribution. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Arrange three slices of Black Forest ham atop the chutney-covered bread, followed by two slices of aged white Cheddar cheese on each. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Crown the cheese with the remaining bread slices. Lightly butter the exterior of the assembled sandwiches on both sides, creating a golden crust. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Place the buttered sandwiches in a preheated large skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and beautifully crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

05

Step

Carefully flip the sandwiches and continue cooking until the cheese is fully melted, gooey, and the second side is equally golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from skillet, let cool slightly before slicing. Serve immediately and savor the symphony of flavors.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin smear of Dijon mustard to the bread before the chutney.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere or Havarti.
If mango chutney is not available, apricot preserves or fig jam can be substituted.
Ensure even cooking by using a skillet large enough to accommodate the sandwiches without overcrowding.

    This recipe is a game-changer! The mango chutney adds such a unique and delicious flavor to the classic grilled cheese.

  • Josiane Ward

    The Dijon mustard tip was a great addition! I will definitely be making this again.

  • Westley Emard

    I never thought to add chutney to a grilled ham and cheese, but it's amazing! My kids loved it too.

  • Bridie Vonrueden

    I used apricot jam because I didn't have mango chutney, and it was still delicious!

  • Silas Stoltenbergbernier

    My bread got a little too dark before the cheese was fully melted. Next time, I'll use a lower heat.

  • Tyrique Mohrtillman

    I tried it with Gruyere cheese instead of Cheddar and it was absolutely divine! Thanks for the great recipe!

  • Bianka Abernathy

    The instructions were clear and easy to follow. My sandwich turned out perfectly golden brown and the cheese was perfectly melted.
