HOW
- In a bowl, add soft butter, shredded cheddar, red pepper flakes and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly.

- Turn skillet down to medium low and add your sandwich.
- Griddle for 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Happy Eating!
TIPS
- Watch your bread and turn when it’s crispy brown the way YOU like it. Whether that’s lightly golden or dark with crispy bits will determine how long to griddle your sandwich. Butter can burn if the griddle is too hot, so give it a peek from time to time.
- Sometimes we go overboard with cheese and it doesn’t melt in the center. Simply microwave your sandwich for 20 seconds.
- Yeah, we dip that beloved pile of crispy cheese and sweet tangy chutney into cream of tomato basil soup.
