Notes about this recipe

We thought this was good. I wouldn’t go out of my way to acquire mango chutney expressly for this purpose, but we had a lot of fun trying it as a grilled cheese component.

I absolutely loved this. I ran a knife through the chutney, used rye bread and made 1/2 a sandwich to eat with my soup (just in case I wasn't a fan)...and then promptly made & ate the other 1/2. I'm also going to try this with a spicy tomato chutney I canned this summer (after reading about this suggestion in the Food52 comments for this recipe). I also simply buttered my bread as I couldn't really see the advantage of melting the butter 1st and I do use my cast iron grill pan with another heavy pan on top, flipping 1/2 way to get the good, crispy grill ridges.

I have several of Ina Garten's books and while not hugely innovative they are very reliable. So I bought this book in part because I was curious about this recipe & what it might indicate about other recipes in the book. I love grilled cheese, I like mango chutney and I really wanted to like this version of a melted cheese sandwich. But we did not. I would have thought that the flavors of sharp cheddar and mango chutney would be very complementary but we didn't enjoy it & didn't finish our sandwiches. And we are, sadly, original members of the clean plates club. However, the suggested accompanying recipe of tomato bisque was fabulous and enjoyed by all.

This is a welcome update on the grilled cheese sandwich. I loved it!

We aren't huge chutney fans and weren't sure if we would like these sandwiches, but they were pretty good!

This was delicious. Since I don't have panini press I used Ina's suggestion of another pan to press sandwich. I love mango chutney so was pleased to find this simple recipe.
