Cheese Toastie with Tamarind & Tomato Chutney
This is the ultimate cheese toastie: crispy golden sourdough, gooey melted cheese and a spoonful of sweet, tangy Tamarind & Tomato Chutney. The perfect café-style lunch with a punchy twist.
Substitute:
- No sourdough? Use any good quality bread — thick slices work best.
- No cheddar? Try a mix of mature cheese, Gruyère, Red Leicester or Comté.
- No mozzarella? Use another melty cheese like fontina or a little extra cheddar.

Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
4 slices of sourdough bread
100 g cheddar
50 g mozzarella
30 g butter
2 tbsp Oddbox Tomato & Tamarind Chutney
1 tsp English mustard (optional)
a pinch of black pepper
Recipe:
Mix the grated cheddar and mozzarella together.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough. Spread the unbuttered side of two slices with English mustard, if using.
Top with the cheese mixture, a generous spoonful of Tamarind & Tomato Chutney and a sprinkle of black pepper. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, butter-side facing out.
Heat a frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the toasties and cook slowly for 4–5 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
Slice in half and serve immediately.
