Source of Inspiration:

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 5 min

Cook Time: 10 min

Total Time: 15 min

Ingredients: 

• 2 tablespoons of ghee or butter
• 8 slices of sprouted wheat bread
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
• 2 cups chopped baby kale 
• 1 jar of Guju Tikka Masala Indian Sauce 
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 

Directions: 

1. Pour entire jar of Guju Red Pepper Indian Sauce into a saucepan and warm on low heat, stirring every minute or so until completely warmed, about 7 minutes.

2. While sauce is warming, build your sandwiches by smearing 1 side of each piece of bread with ghee or butter. 

3. With the buttered side of bread face down, fill the unbuttered side with ¼ cup shredded cheese, 1 tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese, ½ cup chopped baby kale and a big spoonful of Guju Tikka Masala Indian Sauce and then secure with another slice of buttered bread, buttered side up.

4. Place each sandwich on a grill pan set to medium heat. Allow it to sear and crisp up for 3 minutes and then flip to crisp the second side for another 2-3 minutes.

5. Turn off heat and place finished sandwiches on a plate and slice in half, diagonally. 

6. Spoon remaining warmed Guju Tikka Masala Indian Sauce into 4 dipping bowls and turn off the saucepan’s heat.

7. Serve each grilled cheese with chopped cilantro and Guju Tikka Masala Indian Sauce.

Notes:  We used sprouted wheat bread, but you can use any bread that you have in your kitchen such as sourdough, rye or traditional wheat. Don’t have a loaf of bread on hand? Try using pita bread or tortillas and be sure to tag us in your photos so we can see your creations!
