Products used in the Sourdough Jam & Brie Grilled Cheese
What type of jam works best with the Sourdough Jam & Brie Grilled Cheese?
For the Sourdough Jam & Brie Grilled Cheese, we recommend using a jam that offers both sweetness and a bit of spice or tang to complement the creamy, mild flavor of brie cheese. Our choice of strawberry hot pepper jam is perfect as it provides a balance of sweet strawberry flavor with a kick of heat from the peppers. This combination enhances the overall flavor profile of the sandwich, making it both unique and delightful. You can also experiment with other jams like apricot jalapeño or raspberry chipotle for different variations.
Can I use a different type of cheese for this grilled cheese?
Yes, while brie cheese is preferred for its creamy texture and mild flavor, which pairs beautifully with the tangy jam, you can experiment with other soft cheeses that melt well. Good alternatives include Camembert, which has a similar texture to brie but a slightly deeper flavor, or a mild, melty provolone or mozzarella for a less intense cheese flavor. The key is to choose a cheese that complements the sweetness and spice of the jam you are using.
How can I prevent the sandwich from becoming too soggy when using jam?
To prevent your Sourdough Jam & Brie Grilled Cheese from becoming soggy, there are a couple of techniques you can use. First, spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of each slice of sourdough before grilling helps create a barrier that reduces moisture absorption and results in a crisper exterior. Additionally, make sure to use a moderate amount of jam — just enough to taste but not so much that it overwhelms the sandwich. Layering the cheese under and over the jam can also help to contain the jam and prevent it from seeping into the bread too much. Ensure the pan is hot enough to quickly crisp up the bread and seal in the flavors.
