Ingredients
Spicy Tomato Jam
- 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Garlic Butter
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Grilled Cheese
- 1 cup spicy tomato jam, divided
- 8 lices sourdough bread
- 1 cup (113 g) Gruyere cheese, grated, divided
- 1 cup (113 g) white cheddar cheese, grated, divided
Instructions
Spicy Tomato Jam
- To a large saucepan over medium heat, add diced tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes, ginger, and cinnamon. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (1½ hours-1 hour and 40 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before serving.
Garlic Butter
- In a medium bowl, add butter, parsley, garlic, and salt. Mix to combine.
Grilled Cheese
- Generously spread the garlic butter on one side of a slice of bread. Flip over the slice of bread and spread ¼ cup of spicy tomato jam.
- In a pan over medium-low heat, add bread (butter side down). Top with ¼ cup of the Gruyere cheese, and ¼ cup of the white cheddar cheese.
- Add garlic butter to another slice of bread and place that on top of the cheese, butter side up.
- Cook over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes; then, flip over the sandwich and cook another 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. (If it seems like the bread is taking a long time to brown, be patient, as the cheese inside needs time to melt.)
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve warm.
Notes
- Spicy Tomato Jam can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
