Instructions

1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Spread 1 oz. of goat cheese evenly onto each slice of bread.
3. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of blackberry jam on top of the goat cheese on two slices of bread.
4. Top the jam with the remaining two slices of bread, goat cheese side down, to make two sandwiches.
5. Spread about ½ tbsp. of butter on top of each sandwich.
6. Place the sandwiches, butter side down, onto the preheated skillet or griddle.
7. Spread the remaining ½ tbsp. of butter on top of the sandwich.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom of the sandwiches are golden brown.
9. Flip the sandwiches over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the goat cheese is melted.
10. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet or griddle and let them cool for a minute or two.
11. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.

Tips for the best grilled cheese

• Use a sourdough with a tight crumb. You don't want all your gooey cheese melting through giant holes in your bread. If you can't find a sourdough loaf that'll work, check out the FAQ below!
• Use mayonnaise on the outside of the bread and spread it all the way to the edges. This will give you a nice, even, golden brown crispy finish.
• Don't let your frying pan get too hot. The grilled cheese shouldn't take more than 5-7 minutes total. If your burner is too high, the bread will burn before the cheese can melt, if it's too low you'll end up with chewy bread and under-melted cheese.
• Use a block of cheddar and shred, don't slice. You'll end up with a much more even melt.
