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.
