Ingredients
Mango Salsa:
- 1/2 mango, 1/4-inch diced
- 1/4 red onion, 1/4-inch diced
- 1/4 red bell pepper, 1/4-inch diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Pinch sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Sandwich:
- 3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 8 slices fresh Italian bread
- 1/4 cup honey mustard
- 8 slices Swiss cheese, (8 ounces)
Directions
In a small bowl, mix together mango, red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper using a wooden spoon. Set aside until ready for use.
In a small bowl using a rubber spatula, mix the butter and curry together. Spread 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture on 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices of bread on your work surface, buttered side down. Spread the honey mustard on the other side of the bread. Place about 2 tablespoons of the mango salsa on the bread followed by the Swiss cheese. (You may need to fold the cheese slices to fit the bread.) Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of curry butter to a nonstick skillet on medium heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cover with lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt. Flip the sandwiches with a spatula and press very firmly, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Turn once more, press with a spatula, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from pan and let cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut diagonally and serve with extra salsa on the side.
Note: The salsa can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.

Sounds so completely weird, but definitely glad my husband asked me to try it. YUM!

We liked the grilled cheese but thought it needed a little bit extra. So I added cilantro to the salsa, then used tortillas instead of bread and made a quesadilla out of it. Also, added shredded chicken seasoned with caribbean jerk seasoning to the quesadilla. I served it with sour cream and it was wonderful! Not so much a grilled cheese anymore, but still good!

Let's just say the result of this recipe is an unusual, or challenging combination of tastes. Now, use Goat Cheese instead of Swiss and the flavors magically come together the way they should. Putting a little jalapeno into the salsa would give it a special kick as well.
