INGREDIENTS
Origin:
This isn’t your average grilled cheese. Inspired by sweet heat combos found in tropical street food—from Caribbean jerk sandwiches to spicy mango chutneys—this sandwich melts sharp cheddar with Mango Habanero Sauce for a sticky, spicy, craveable twist. It’s gooey, crunchy, and just the right kind of wild.
Pro Tips:
-
Use thick, crusty bread like sourdough to prevent sogginess.
-
Toast low and slow to ensure the cheese melts fully before the bread burns.
Things to Watch Out For:
- Don’t overload with sauce or it can leak and burn in the pan.
-
Flip gently—a grilled cheese with sauce can slip around.
Process:
Prep the Sandwich:Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer shredded sharp cheddar and drizzle Mango Habanero Sauce evenly across.
Grill:Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low. Place the sandwich butter-side down, press slightly, and grill 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
Slice & Serve: Let rest for 1 minute before cutting. Serve hot with a pickle or salad if you’re feeling fancy.
