Ingredients
- 2 tsp Oil
- 1 Large Onion, thinly sliced
- 8 Oatmeal or White Sandwich Bread Slices
- As needed Butter, softened
- 2 tbsp Sweet Mango Chutney (or any other fruit based chutney)
- 1 Medium Tomato, thinly sliced
- ½ cup Grated Cheddar Cheese (any other good melting cheese can also be used)

Instructions
Make Caramelized Onions:
- Heat oil in a pan; add the onions and cook on medium flame, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized around the edges. This will take about 12~15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Butter the bread slices generously and build the sandwiches butter side out.
- On one slice, sprinkle the cheese, top with caramelized onions, tomato slices, salt and pepper, more cheese.
- On the other slice, spread the chutney and place it on top of the other slice. Press lightly and put the sandwich on a grill or a panini press. If using a grill, weigh the sandwich down with a heavy plate or pan and cook for 1~2 minutes. Grill until golden brown, flip and repeat on the other side. Serve right away.
