Grilled Cheese Sticks – Three Cheeses with Tomato Jam
These Grilled Cheese Sticks are a fusion of flavors, featuring a blend of three different cheeses that melt beautifully when grilled. Paired with a homemade tomato jam, each bite is a combination of creamy, savory, and slightly sweet sensations.
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (your choice, such as sourdough or white)
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup of gouda cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of homemade tomato jam (or store-bought)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the tomato jam if you are making it from scratch. Simmer fresh tomatoes, onions, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan until thickened and flavorful. Allow it to cool.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Generously spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of four slices, layer the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and gouda cheese evenly. Top with the remaining four slices, buttered side up.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet, grilling until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once the sandwiches are grilled to perfection, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool slightly before slicing them into sticks.
- Serve warm with the tomato jam for dipping, allowing everyone to enjoy the rich, cheesy layers contrasted by the sweet and tangy notes of the jam.
These Grilled Cheese Sticks make for an exceptional treat, combining the elements of classic comfort food with modern culinary twists. Whether served at a gathering or enjoyed during a cozy evening at home, they are guaranteed to delight anyone who tastes them.
