Nothing beats a melty grilled cheese sandwich. Even in the summertime I find myself craving this type of warm comfort food. The best part about grilled cheese is its versatility. The ingredient possibilities are endless.
And let’s just say I was craving a more “grown up” grilled cheese version this time around; something complex, delicious and satisfying during these last few days of summer rain storms. I definitely hit my mark becuase this sandwich was exactly what I had been imagining.
I fried up a ham steak, those individually packed ones you find in the meat section of the grocery store. And then it was off to search the cheese drawer, where I found some brie and blue cheese slices. The peach jam was a no-brainer with these flavors.
I covered one side of the bread with brie, the other with blue cheese and jam. I cannot even tell you how delicious this tasted. Promise me you’ll try it.
Let me know how much you love this…

Italian Gorgonzola, Tasmanian Brie, a fresh baked Ciabatta loaf & my own quandong (wild peach)/ white peach & mango jam…I would never in a million years have thought of pairing the jam with ham & cheese toasties. The idea of using a ham steak is genius too….hmm back on my diet for the next month but it was OH SO worth it as it was sensational

Apricot jam would also make a tasty substitute.
