Cilantro Chutney Grilled Cheese
Golden, melty, and packed with bold flavor — this Cilantro Chutney Grilled Cheese is your new go-to for a quick lunch, cozy snack, or easy weeknight fix. It takes everything you love about a classic grilled cheese and gives it a fresh, vibrant twist thanks to the bright, herbaceous flavor of Sukhi’s Cilantro Chutney.
A Comfort Classic, Leveled Up
This isn’t your childhood grilled cheese — it’s the grown-up version you didn’t know you needed.
Crisp, buttery sourdough holds together a gooey cheese layer (cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack — your call) with optional juicy tomato slices for added freshness. The result? A perfect balance of melty, crunchy, creamy, and zesty in every bite.
And the secret to what makes it special? A generous slather of Sukhi’s Cilantro Chutney..
The Star: Cilantro Chutney Dressing
Spreading chutney inside the sandwich infuses every bite with bright cilantro, a hint of spice, and tangy complexity. It cuts through the richness of the cheese beautifully, making the sandwich feel lighter, fresher, and way more exciting.
Want even more flavor? Serve extra chutney on the side for dipping. It’s addictive — in the best possible way
