Categories     Sandwich     Picnic     Back to School     Lunch     Cheddar     Fig     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 crusty rustic roll
2 tablespoons top-quality fig jam, preferably Mitica (see Note)
2 teaspoons fragrant extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
3 ounces (85 g) artisan American Cheddar, preferably Prairie Breeze (see Note), cut into 3 thick slices

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a panini press according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, heat a ridged grill pan or large skillet over medium heat.
  • 2. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll in half horizontally. Spread each cut side of the roll with 1 tablespoon of the fig jam, drizzle the jam with 1 teaspoon of the oil, and season it with the salt. Arrange the Cheddar pieces closely on the bottom roll half, being sure that the cheese does not hang over the sides of the roll. Cover it with the remaining roll half, jam-side down.
  • 3. Place the sandwich in the panini press and cook it until the roll is toasted and golden brown and the cheese is desirably melty, about 4 minutes, depending on the press. If using a ridged grill pan or skillet, place the sandwich in the pan and top it with a cast-iron skillet or heavy saucepan. Cook until the underside is toasted, about 2 minutes. Flip the sandwich over, top it with the cast-iron skillet again, and cook until the other side is toasted and the cheese is melty, about 2 minutes more.
  • 4. Cut the sandwich in half and serve it hot.

FIG AND HONEY JAM WITH WALNUTS



Fig and Honey Jam with Walnuts image

I recently made a meat and cheese board for my family and wanted to make a jam/preserve with it that we normally wouldn't have. Figs came to mind and, after searching around a little and getting a few ideas, I came up with this. It was such a huge hit that I decided to share it. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as we did! It will last for up to 30 days if you do not can it.
