Tastē Tuesday~ Grilled cheese sandwiches are not a staple in our house, but every now and again, especially when I am looking for an easy weekend lunch, they make the menu. Last week I changed it up a bit and opted to play with a different flavor combination. We thought it turned out delish! Adding fruit to melted cheese makes it healthier right?
BLACKBERRY GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES
Makes 4 sandwiches
8 slices sourdough bread
light butter, softened
4 slices chipotle gouda*
12-15 Blackberries, depending on the size of your bread
Triple Berry Jam*
Begin heating a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each of the slices of bread. On the other side of 4 of the slices, spread jam. Top with blackberries, slightly smushed between your fingers. On the other 4 slices of bread, place a slice of gouda cheese. Put the sandwiches together so that the buttered sides face outward. Place in the heated skillet, gently pressing each of them down with a spatula. When the bread turns golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, flip and brown the opposite side. Serve warm and enjoy the juxtaposition between the sweet berry and the spicy cheese.
*Found at the deli counter. Ours is Boar's Head - hopefully your deli sells something similar. If not, a pepper jack or jalapeño cheese could be substituted.
**This ingredient ia very flexible. Any pure blackberry or mixed berry jam would work well.
