Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened for spreading
  • 12 oz soft white sandwich bread about 8 slices
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 6 oz cooked ham, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp caramelized onion chutney
  • 1 tsp English mustard
  • 4 oz ripe tomato, thinly sliced optional
  • 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.13 tsp kosher salt to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat a sandwich press or large skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir the chutney, mustard, and Worcestershire in a small bowl.
  • Butter one side of each piece of bread.
  • Spread the chutney mixture on the unbuttered sides. Layer cheese, ham, and tomato. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • Close each sandwich with bread, buttered sides facing out.
  • Toast in the press until deep golden and melty, 3–4 minutes. For a skillet, cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly.
  • Rest 1 minute on a board, then slice and serve hot.

Notes

Variations: Swap ham for cooked bacon or sliced roast chicken. Use Branston-style pickle instead of chutney for a tangier bite. Add thin red onion or a swipe of mayo for extra richness.
Tip: If cooking in a skillet, keep heat medium so the cheese melts as the bread crisps.
