Why this works
A rich, energy-dense cheese toastie with a good protein content, but also high in saturated fat and sodium.
Calcium-rich. The cheese provides a substantial amount of calcium, supporting bone health.
Protein contribution. With cheese as the main filling, this toastie delivers a decent amount of protein for satiety.
Sodium and saturated fat. Cheese, butter and mustard make this a higher-salt, higher-saturated-fat meal, so it is best enjoyed occasionally.
Method
- Spread the French mustard thinly over one side of each slice of bread.
- Spoon the chutney over one slice, then top with the sliced cheese and a little black pepper.
- Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.
- Butter the outside of the sandwich evenly.
- Cook in a hot frying pan over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
