I hope you love it as much as I do!

📖 Instructions
- First, gather all your ingredients. Make sure your vegetables are washed and chopped to the desired size. This will make the assembly process a breeze.
- Prepare the chutney: If you are making your own chutney, now is the perfect time to do it. Follow your recipe, and let it cool completely before proceeding. If using store-bought, just open the jar!
- Butter one side of each slice of bread generously. Don't be shy, this is what will make our sandwich so delightful!
- Assemble your sandwich carefully and lovingly. Spread the chutney on one slice of bread, then add the cheese, followed by the tomatoes, cucumbers, and spinach. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper, if desired.
- Place the other slice of bread on top, butter-side-out. Gently press down to slightly flatten the sandwich.
- If using a pan, heat it over medium heat and lightly butter the pan. You want the butter to start melting, making the sandwich even more tasty!
- Carefully place the sandwich in the pre-heated pan. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Pay attention, this part can go wrong easily!
- If using a griddle, preheat the griddle following the manufacturer's instructions and place the sandwich on the hot surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Remove the sandwich from the heat. Allow it to rest briefly before slicing it in half diagonally for easy sharing.
- Serve your Tibetan Picnic Sandwich immediately. Enjoy the delicious blend of flavors and textures! I really hope you enjoy this!
- Tip: For extra flavor, you can add a few slices of your favorite pickles or some thin slices of red onion to the sandwich! Also, you can get fancy with the bread--a sourdough is divine!
📝 Notes
- Use your favorite type of bread. I love to use a whole wheat sourdough
- Adjust the amount of chutney to your preference
- Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice, such as bell peppers, onions, or carrots
