CHEDDAR CHEESE TOASTIES



Cheddar Cheese Toasties image

WE were dairy farmers for years, so we all enjoyed a hearty breakfast after morning milking. Having a bit of cheese satisfies the appetite and helps hold you over until the next meal. Since I always had a lot of cheddar cheese on hand, I used it in many of my recipes. -Helen Davis, Waterbury, Vermont

Hari chutney:
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, cut into large pieces
Juice of 1 lime
1 (1") piece ginger, peeled
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
¼ cup mint leaves
⅛ tsp. (or more) sugar
Kosher salt
1-2 green Indian, Thai, or serrano chiles
Filling and assembly:
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil or ghee
1 tsp. black mustard seeds
4 fresh curry leaves
1 tsp. cumin seeds
¼ tsp. ground coriander
¼ tsp. ground turmeric
A pinch of asafetida (optional)
1-2 green Indian, Thai, or serrano chiles, thinly sliced
1 large cooked russet potato, peeled
¼ tsp. kosher salt
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 tsp. chaat or sandwich masala (such as Spicewalla Chaat Masala or MDH Chunky Chat Masala)
8 (½"-thick) slices Pullman or other soft sandwich bread
1 small red onion, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped green bell pepper or seeded plum tomatoes
8 oz. Monterey Jack or Emmenthal cheese, sliced, or 8 slices white American cheese
Room-temperature ghee or unsalted butter (for sandwiches)
Ketchup (for serving)

Steps:

  • Hari chutney:
  • Purée apple, lime juice, ginger, garlic, cilantro, mint, sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1-2 chiles, depending on how spicy your chiles are and your heat preference, in a blender, scraping down sides and adding water by the tablespoonful, until a smooth paste forms. Taste and season with more salt or sugar if needed. (You should have about 1 cup, which is more than you'll need for the sandwiches. Color will fade as it sits.)
  • Do ahead: Chutney can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
  • Filling and assembly:
  • Heat oil in a medium cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium. Add mustard seeds and cook until popping, about 30 seconds. Add curry leaves and cumin seeds. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until slightly darkened in color, about 1 minute. Stir in coriander, turmeric, asafetida (if using), and 1-2 chiles. Crumble potato into pan in large pieces and add salt. Cook, coarsely mashing and tossing potatoes to coat, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Fold in cilantro and chaat masala. Transfer filling to a bowl. Wipe out pan and reserve.
  • Arrange 4 slices of bread on a cutting board. Spread some chutney over each slice. Divide filling among slices and top with red onion, green pepper, then cheese. Spread 1 side of remaining 4 bread slices with more chutney and close up sandwiches. Spread ghee over outside of top slices of bread.
  • Heat reserved pan over medium. Working in batches if needed, melt a small knob of ghee in pan, then arrange sandwiches, buttered side up, in pan. Cook until golden brown underneath, about 4 minutes. Turn over and cook, pressing down occasionally with the back of a spatula or the bottom of a saucepan, until cheese is melted and other side is golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Serve toasties with extra chutney and ketchup alongside.
  • Chef's note: Sandwiches can be made in a panini or sandwich press as well, or ideally a toastie maker.

CHEESE TOASTIES



Cheese Toasties image

Gosh, these are yummy! They make a great appetizer, but try them with lasagna or pasta too. I loved the mix of seasonings and the green onion. A super simple appetizer if you have last-minute company or just don't want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen.

Provided by Sue Lally

Categories     Appetizers

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick butter or margarine
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 or 4 green onions, sliced
salt & pepper to taste
2 sourdough baguettes

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together butter, cheese, mayo, onion powder, garlic powder, & green onions in a medium bowl. Mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, or used right away.
  • 2. When ready to make, slice baguettes and spread with cheese mixture.
  • 3. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes.
  • 4. *Note: You can use different types of cheese, such as colby/jack, etc.

Tips:

- Use a thick, sturdy bread that can hold up to the filling. Sourdough, French, and multigrain breads are all good choices. - Spread butter on the outside of the bread before grilling. This will help it to brown and crisp up. - Don't overcrowd the pan. Leave some space between the sandwiches so that they can cook evenly. - Cook the sandwiches over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning. - Flip the sandwiches halfway through cooking. This will ensure that they are cooked evenly on both sides. - Add your favorite toppings to the sandwiches before serving. Some popular options include bacon, ham, eggs, and avocado.
