Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: Begin by taking a small mixing bowl and combining all the filling ingredients. Add the Britannia Cheese Spread – Four Pepper Tango, red chilli flakes, pineapple slices, finely chopped paneer, green bell pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
-
Cook the Pineapple (Optional): For optimal flavor, use either cooked or canned pineapple. If you prefer to cook fresh pineapple, you can do so by placing it in a pressure cooker with a bit of sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Cook for a few whistles and then turn off the heat, allowing the pineapple to soften and caramelize slightly.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Lay the slices of whole wheat bread flat on a clean working surface. Using a large spoon, take a generous amount of the prepared filling and spread it evenly over one slice of bread. On the other slice, spread the Four Pepper Cheese Spread evenly.
-
Combine and Butter: Carefully place the filled slice of bread on top of the cheese-spread slice to create a sandwich. Spread butter generously on the top slice of bread.
-
Grill the Sandwich: Preheat a sandwich maker or cast iron grill. Place the sandwich inside the preheated device with the buttered side facing down. Apply some butter on the top slice as well. Grill the sandwich until it turns golden brown and crispy on both sides, usually about 4-5 minutes, depending on your grill’s heat.
-
Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the grill and let it cool for a minute before cutting it in half. Serve the Grilled Paneer Pineapple Sandwich hot and pair it with a refreshing glass of Cocoa Banana Almond Date Smoothie or Watermelon Carrot Radish Juice for a delightful snack experience.
