This recipe is my attempt to recreate that delightful experience for you all! It’s perfect for a picnic on a sunny day, a quick lunch at work, or a hearty snack on an adventure in the mountains. I hope you love it as much as I do!

📖 Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. Butter one side of each slice of bread generously. Don't be shy, this is what will make our sandwich so delightful!
  4. 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.
  5. Place the other slice of bread on top, butter-side-out. Gently press down to slightly flatten the sandwich.
  6. 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!
  7. 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!
  8. 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.
  9. Remove the sandwich from the heat. Allow it to rest briefly before slicing it in half diagonally for easy sharing.
  10. Serve your Tibetan Picnic Sandwich immediately. Enjoy the delicious blend of flavors and textures! I really hope you enjoy this!
  11. 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
