1
Put all of the ingredients for your chutney in a medium pot and bring liquid to a boil.
2
Reduce heat a bit and let the chutney cook down for 10 minutes.
3
Remove gingerroot before serving.
4
Begin to assemble an assembly line leading to your pan.
5
Place a pile of bread next to a shallow dish or disposable pie tin containing the eggs, beaten with milk, sugar, and nutmeg.
6
Nestle a piece of cold butter in a folded paper towel and keep on hand to wipe and grease your skillet.
7
Pile apples, cheese, and turkey on the cutting board to finish your assembly line.
8
Preheat nonstick griddle or large skillet over moderate heat.
9
To make sandwiches, coat pan with butter, dip 4 pieces of bread on both sides in the egg, and place in the pan.

Cook 2 minutes and turn 2 slices over.

Top the 2 slices you turned with thin layers of cheese, apple, turkey and another slice of cheese.
