Chutney Grilled Cheese
Growing up grilled cheese with chutney were on the menu as a fusion Indian breakfast very often. Instead of just adding cheese to grilled butter bread, we would add vegetables and chutney to flavor it up. My mom would make cold chutney sandwiches with American sliced cheese and mayonnaise for gatherings and it was also my favorite! The spice, carb, and cheesy flavors just go well together.

How to make the sandwich
First, make the chutney by blending the ingredients together and setting it aside. Next, heat a pan on medium-low heat. Once it is hot spray some oil and crack an egg in it. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 3 minutes while you make the grilled cheese.Heat another pan on medium/low heatButter the bread slices on one side and place them on the pan butter side down (alternatively you can put butter in a pan and then place the sliced bread into the pan)Spread the chutney on the bread while it is in the pan, slowly. I use a spoonLayer on a sliced cheese and additional toppings to one side of the bread only.Slide the sunny side up egg onto the toppings.Top it with the other butter grilled sliced bread.Serve!
