400g can of butterbeans
1 roasted red pepper from a jar – drained and roughly diced
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 tablespoon tomato chutney (or any other chutney you have)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder

- Heat until bubbling then tip in the drained butterbeans and stir well
- Cook until bubbling and piping hot
- Butter one side of each of the slices of bread with the vegan butter or margarine
- Place two of the slices butter side down in a frying pan (or cook one at a time if you don't have a pan large enough)
- Top each piece of bread with half the beans then scatter over the grated cheese
- Place the other slice of buttered bread butter side up
