Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the cheese mixture.

Use a cast iron skillet for even cooking and a crispier crust.

Experiment with different types of chutney to find your favorite combination.

For a richer flavor, add a small amount of grated mozzarella cheese to the cheddar cheese mixture.
