Cheddar Cheese and Chutney Toasted Doorstep Sandwich!

Submitted by French Tart

"A real old fashioned British style "Doorstep" sandwich, jazzed up a wee bit by adding chutney with mayonnaise and then toasting it........just delicious! The only criteria for these toasted "sarnies" is that you use THICK slices of good quality white Farmhouse style bread; such as home-made or Artisanal crusty bread! And, a good quality Cheddar cheese - preferably mature with good mayonnaise and tangy chutney! Although I have given the method for grilling (broiling) these sarnies, they'll be fine if they're made in an electric sandwich or grilling machine, such as a George Foreman. There is no need to add the chutney separately then, just add it to the cheese and mayonnaise mixture. This is a recipe for one greedy person - please increase the quantities for more greedy people if necessary!!"

What a great way to dress up grilled cheese. Made using home made tomato chutney, fat free cheddar cheese, and cut the mayonnaise in half. We liked this so well that the next night when Zaar/Food.com was down we made it again. Thanks so much for the post.

This is a really nice change from the ordinary. I used a mango chutney and old cheddar cheese. I found it was a little messy, but I didn't mind licking my fingers! :) I'm going to have to find some different chutneys to try with this. I also think I may decrease the mayonnaise, just a little.

Lovely and without the leathery effect of grilled cheese on its own. And best of all it is so easy and quick using the crisper plate of my Whirlpool microwave. I can use an endless choice of possible chutneys - sundried tomato and olive is great.

Made for DH's lunch. My work is done. Retirement party anyone?

Very nice cheese sarnie! I used thick-cut sourdough bread, extra sharp cheddar and homemade rhubarb chutney (recipe #300651, which I had in the freezer). Because my loaf of bread was quite large, I added an extra 1/2 oz of cheese (left quantities of everything else the same except for skipping the salt). I made in my non-stick skillet with a little butter on the outside to promote browning ;) I did accidentally forget about the chutney until I had the sandwich in the skillet so waited until it was done, opened it up, and mixed the chutney in with the melted cheese. As others said, it was a little messy, but totally worth it! Thanks for sharing FT :)
