Method
-
Lay the bread onto a chopping board and spread both sides of all pieces with all but 2 teaspoons of the softened butter.
-
Spread the mango chutney over two pieces, and the cream cheese over the other two pieces.
-
Tip the grated cheeses and red onion into a bowl and mix together, then pile onto the cream cheese covered bread.
-
Lay the ham in ruffled layers on top of the cheese mixture then lay the other piece of bread, mango chutney side down, on top and squidge down gently.
-
Heat a frying pan until medium hot, add the remaining butter and the olive oil and when the butter has melted, add the sandwiches. Fry gently over a medium low heat for 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently with a fish slice, until just golden brown and the cheese has started to ooze.
-
Flip over and cook on the other side for another 3-4 minutes, pressing down again, until golden brown and the cheese is really oozing out of the sides.
-
Cut in half and serve straightaway.
