ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
This recipe comes from Canadian House and Home. It is soooo good. It's baked so it's easy to make more than 1 at a time. The cheese oozes out of the sandwiches while baking and becomes a crunchy crust around the bread. Use a really good bread and slice it extra thick. You can use commercial mango chutney or try this home-made version: recipe#368738

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread: The bread is the foundation of your grilled cheese sandwich, so it's important to use a high-quality loaf. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings, but not too thick or dense.
- Choose your cheese wisely: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your sandwich. You can use one type of cheese or a combination of cheeses. Some popular choices include cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is essential for getting a golden brown and crispy grilled cheese sandwich. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the sandwich.
- Cook your sandwich over medium heat: Cooking your sandwich over medium heat will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from overcooking.
- Be patient: It takes a few minutes to cook a grilled cheese sandwich properly. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a sandwich that's not cooked through.
