This is an oddly satisfying, sweet-and-spicy grilled cheese sandwich: mango puree, pepper Jack cheese and peppery watercress make a unique combination.
The first time I made this, I was like “bleh.” I was indifferent and not really impressed with the flavor combination. I made it another time after I again saw the episode of Barefoot Contessa where Ina make it with a famous NY caterer. I made a few tweaks, and upped the amount of mango purée on each bread slice. This second take produced a sandwich I couldn’t stop eating. It was craveable!
Oh, and if you didn’t know…it’s sandwich week on Never Not Hungry! We just wrapped up breakfast week last week-these two weeks came about because I looked at my recipes and realized I had SO MANY breakfast and sandwich recipes that I just needed to feature them exclusively for a few weeks so my recipe cadence could even out. Happy sandwich’ing!
