📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let's get that mango salsa poppin'! In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if you like a lil' heat, otherwise skip it!), cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix it all gently and set aside. The longer it sits, the more the flavors meld together. Ideally, do this at least 30 minutes before you start on the sandwich, that way the flavor is just immaculate!
2. Now, butter one side of each slice of bread. This is crucial; it's what gives you that golden-brown, crispy crust we all crave. Pro-tip: use softened butter for even coverage. Nobody wants a patchy, sad-looking grilled cheese. Alternatively, you could use mayonnaise instead of butter.
3. Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a generous layer of your favorite cheese. I'm partial to a mix of Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar, but hey, you do you! Provolone or even a bit of pepper jack would also be amazing here.
4. Spoon a generous amount of that glorious mango salsa over the cheese. Don't be shy! We want every bite to be bursting with flavor. But also, dont add too much! You dont want it falling out the sides, it will make for a messy sanwhich.
5. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Now comes the patience part. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Keep a close eye on it; you want it perfectly toasted, not burnt to a crisp!
6. Once your sandwich is golden brown and the cheese is oozing, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute or two (if you can resist!), then slice it in half. This gives the cheese a moment to settle and prevents a molten cheese explosion when you take that first bite.
7. Serve immediately and prepare to be amazed! The combination of the warm, melty cheese, the crispy bread, and the sweet and tangy mango salsa is seriously addictive. Prepare to want another one… or maybe two.
