Chocolate Cheese Sandwich
A gooey tawa-grilled sandwich with melted processed cheese and chocolate spread on golden-brown buttered bread. Ready in 10 minutes with just 4 pantry staples.
Ingredients
For the sandwich
- 2 slices white or brown sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon Amul salted butter softened
- 2 tablespoons chocolate spread Nutella or Kisses brand
- 1 Amul processed cheese slice or 2 tablespoons grated processed cheese
Optional additions
- 3-4 thin banana slices optional
- 1 tablespoon crushed roasted peanuts or walnuts optional
- Pinch of cinnamon stirred into the chocolate spread (optional)
For homemade chocolate spread (makes 4-5 servings)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1½ tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prep the bread
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice, making sure it reaches the edges for even browning.
Layer the fillings
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread the chocolate spread in an even layer, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Place the cheese slice on top of the chocolate layer.
- Add banana slices or crushed nuts now if using.
Assemble
- Place the second bread slice on top, buttered side facing outward.
- Press gently to help it hold together.
Toast on the tawa
- Heat a tawa or flat pan over medium-low heat.
- Place the sandwich butter-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and the cheese starts to soften.
- Flip carefully with a spatula and toast the other side for another 2 minutes.
Serve
- Remove from the tawa and rest for 30 seconds.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
Keep the heat at medium-low — high heat browns the bread before the cheese melts.
Make the homemade chocolate spread by mixing softened butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week.
Banana variation: use slightly lower heat so the banana warms through without making the bread soggy.
The assembled sandwich (untoasted) can be wrapped and stored in the fridge for up to 1 hour. Toast just before serving.
Store any leftover homemade chocolate spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
