Grilled cheese with fresh mozzarella, basil and sweet tomato jam.

Butter one side of each of the pieces of sourdough bread:

2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened

4 slices crusty sourdough bread

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. If the pan is large enough, make two sandwiches at a time. Otherwise, proceed with steps 3-4 (the next two steps) for one sandwich, and then repeat the process.

Once the pan is hot, place two slices of bread in the pan, buttered side down. Top each slice of bread with half of each of these:

6 oz sliced fresh mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

1/2 cup Homemade Tomato Jam

Place another slice of bread on top of each, buttered side up.

Cook until the bottom of each is browned, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip with a spatula. Cook again until the bottom is browned and the cheese is melted.

Remove from the pan, and slice in half with a serrated knife if desired. Serve immediately.
