Description

This oozy grilled cheese sandwich is a little sweet from mango purée, a little spicy from pepper Jack cheese and a little peppery from watercress…a unique and totally craveable combination!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices of bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 fresh mango, peeled, pitted and cubed OR 1 cup frozen mango chunks, defrosted
  • 1 cup watercress (about 1 ounce)
  • 16 slices Pepper Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the butter and mayonnaise and mix together until thoroughly combined.  Spread one side of each piece of bread with this mixture.  Flip the bread over to the unbuttered side.
  2. Place the mango in a blender and blend until completely smooth.  In a small saucepan, place the mango puree and cook down for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened and reduced.
  3. Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the mango puree on all eight slices of bread and top each with two slices of Pepper Jack.  Top two slice with a handful of the watercress and the remaining slices of bread.
  5. Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.  Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.  Slice the sandwich in half and serve hot!
