Tomato Chutney Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I’m a hopeless romantic when it comes to this tomato chutney grilled cheese sandwich. When hankering for a grilled cheese, I dream of biting into the perfectly crusty and crispy sandwich that oozes out plenty of cheesy love.
Tomato Chutney Grilled Cheese
Those close to me know that I fiercely embrace savory, hearty and cheesy comfort foods. Grilled cheese sandwiches are no exception when it comes to making me happy, giggly and oh so full of joy.
The variations of great grilled cheese sandwiches are endless. I’ve seen some crazy concoctions when it comes to slapping something between two pieces of bread and some cheese. But the grilled cheese recipes I’m most drawn to are the ones that focus on a great bread, a perfect melting cheese and one more element that will balance and heighten the eating experience without distracting from the simplicity of the sandwich.
One of my answers to this roster of great grilled cheese sandwiches is a well made tomato chutney. I’m rather particular with my tomato chutneys because I don’t like them too sugary sweet. What I do love about a great tomato chutney recipe is the perfect balance of tang, zest, sweet and acidic tomato flavor.
Adding the wonderful flavor of tomato chutney to a warm grilled cheese sandwich makes the sandwich extra flavorful, balanced and zesty.
Although Summer might be officially over, our garden tomatoes tell us quite the opposite. Our wacky tomato bounty is telling us that they’re not ready for Summer to end and honestly, I have absolutely no problem with that.
If our tomatoes say that there’s still time to eat and make tomato recipes, then I’m all over it. Puppy Lexi is all over it too when it comes to helping me pick garden tomatoes. Well, she loves playing with the tomatoes like toys and not really loving the harvesting part.
Combining my craving for a great grilled cheese sandwich and an abundance of tomatoes, I decided to make a huge batch of tomato chutney to savor over the next few weeks. When we asked all you amazing readers for tomato recipes, you all inspired us tremendously with your advice. Thank you for all that, you amazing people!
Liz from Liz the Chef came to the rescue with her tomato chutney recipe. She’s mentioned it a few times to us before about how much she loves her tomato chutney. So to start with her tomato chutney recipe in hand, I made an incredibly delicious batch to eat with my grilled cheese sandwiches for the next few months. Thanks Liz!

Wow, what a bounty.
Grilled cheese is the ford mustang of sandwiches, the Frank Sinatra or Lucille Ball of sandwiches! It”ll never disappear…just get better 🙂 yours looks fantastic!
This looks amazing! I haven’t had a decent grilled cheese in a long time and this looks like the perfect remedy to that situation – AND an awesome way to use up the last of the season’s tomatoes! Great photos as usual!
You two amaze me. Again. Fabulous.
I had to share this on my Facebook page, for so many reasons. Of course I am sure people will want that Tomato Chutney recipe, but I love the way you two continually show food as art. Sure to inspire people to try their hand at preserving.
Thanks for inspiring me, too.
XOXO

Diane, my heart is melting with these sandwiches. They looks amazing! What a great use of your fresh tomatoes. They would be lovely dipped in a little tomato soup too 🙂
There is nothing finer than a grilled cheese sandwich. Well, unless there’s tomato chutney on top…
This might just have to be lunch tomorrow!
Oh boy, that sandwich looks so scrumptious. You are so right, there is something so special about grilled cheese sandwiches, isnt there? Have a wonderful day! xoxo

Wowee – thanks for making my weekend X0…Glad you like the tomato chutney. Now I’m working on a red onion, raisin and apple chutney for fall apples. Hugs, Liz
Liz is the nicest lady and we’re neighbors! She opened up her home to a group of bloggers about 6 mos ago for a workshop with an out of town speaker and it was just a great day. And Ive had my eye on her chutney, too! Your sandwiches just look sooooo good!
