Blarney Grilled Cheese & Chutney Sandwich
"My Irish family has been telling me for years (ok, decades) that I was full of blarney & now I get a chance to make it work for me! You might be asking yourself what this has to do w/a recipe. There's a Blarney cheese that was advertised in the Cooking Light magazine. Per their website, "Blarney Castle cheese is an entirely natural semi-soft, part-skim cheese containing no artificial additives or coloring. Its subtle flavor is reminiscent of a young gouda." So my advice would be to use Blarney cheese for this tasty new version of a grilled cheese sandwich (if you can get it), a good gouda or even a smoked gouda. I thought the ingredients were a bit on the skimpy side, so I modified them slightly. I also suggest that you be more generous w/the chutney than the recipe states. Enjoy!"

NOTE #1: Is it not cute the way they have so meticulously told us how to assemble & cook a grilled cheese sandwich? I loved it
NOTE #2: I've had this recipe posted here for some time, but I saw a version of it recently at another site where they suggested cutting the finished sandwiches into 4 squares (or triangles) to serve as bite-sized appy portions. I really liked this idea.
