Ingredients
-
8 slices white or wheat bread
-
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
-
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
-
kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
-
0.5 cup caramelized onion (optional)
-
3 tbsp. store-bought mango chutney
1 Food Prep
Brush all of your bread slices with melted butter on both sides.
Place half of your bread slices on a prep surface and divide the cheese among the bread. Top with 1–2 slices of tomato, season with salt and pepper and add onions, if desired.
Spread the chutney on the remaining slices of bread and close the sandwiches, chutney side down.
To grill, you can do one of three things:
1. Place your sandwich in a grill basket.
2. Tie your sandwich with kitchen twine like a present to hold it together.
3. Gently place your sandwich directly onto the grill. If you choose this option, it’ll be a little harder to flip, but will still work if you’re careful.
Once you’ve made your pick, prep your sandwiches and your grill and get cooking
2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 450°F (High Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
