Grilled Goat Cheese and Mango Chutney Sandwich

"I made this sandwich up one day and have never been able to enjoy traditional grilled cheese quite as much since. The tangy goat cheese and spicy-sweet mango chutney is an awesome combo, and sourdough bread lends to the flavor nicely. As a bonus, it is ridiculously quick and easy to make! Try pairing this with butternut squash soup; it's an even better combo than the old grilled cheese and tomato!"

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Spread the goat cheese evenly over one slice of sourdough bread. Spread the mango chutney over the other slice.

  2. Press the two slices together so the cheese and chutney face each other, forming a sandwich.

  3. Spread the butter evenly over the outer sides of both bread slices.

  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat until warm. Add the sandwich and cook for about 3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown.

  5. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and the goat cheese has softened.

  6. Remove from the pan, rest for 1 minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
