Ingredients

  • 1/2 green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 2 green chilies finely chopped
  • 4 slice pepper jack cheese
  • 8 slices soft white sourdough bread
  • chat masala to taste
  • green chutney to taste
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter 1 tbsp per sandwich
  • 4 tsp unsalted butter to cook the sandwich 1 tsp on the pan

Instructions

Prep

  • Slice cucumbers.
  • Slice green bell peppers.
  • Now slice red onions.
  • Slice the tomatoes.
  • Lastly, chop the green chilies.
  • Make your green chutney or store-bought works.

Assemble & Grill Sandwich

  • Take 2 slices of soft white bread. Here I'm using Rudi's organic sourdough bread. Spread butter on both bread slices.
  • Now top each slice of bread slice with green chutney.
  • Top one bread slice with sliced cucumbers and chat masala.
  • Now top with sliced tomatoes and chat masala.
  • Add a slice of pepper jack cheese and sprinkle more chat masala.
  • Top with red onions.
  • Top with green bell pepper and chat masala.
  • Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread with the butter side facing up.
  • Now grill the sandwich. Heat up a skillet on low-medium heat until hot. Then add a teaspoon of butter to a pan. Let it melt.
  • Place the sandwich on the skillet.
  • Cover the sandwich with a lid.
  • After 2 minutes flip the sandwich. Cook for 2 minutes on this side.
  • Flip the sandwich again.
  • Now place another heavy skillet on top - this helps the cheese melt.
  • Once done, slice the sandwich in half. Note, your sandwich should be lightly golden brown.
  • Or into fours if you prefer.
  • Enjoy these grilled cheese sandwiches with ketchup and green chutney, or whatever else you prefer.

Notes

for gluten-free option - use gf bread.
