Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a Cheesy Masala Twist

The secret to a grilled sandwich that tastes like a cafe one is in the butter. Mix a little Grella Cheddar into soft butter, spread it on the outside of the bread, and every bite gets a cheesy, golden crust.

What you need (2 sandwiches)

• 4 slices of bread
• 2 tablespoons soft butter
• 1 teaspoon cheese seasoning powder, plus a little for the filling
• 2 cheese slices or a handful of grated cheese
• Sliced onion, tomato and capsicum (optional)
• Green chutney (optional)

Method

1. Mix the soft butter with the seasoning.
2. Spread chutney on the inside of two slices if you like, then add the cheese and veggies. Sprinkle a little seasoning on the filling.
3. Close with the other slices and spread the seasoned butter on the outside.
4. Tawa: cook on low to medium heat, pressing gently, for 2 to 3 minutes a side until golden. Sandwich maker: cook until crisp.
5. Cut and serve hot.
