Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped spiced nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread the butter evenly on one side of each sourdough slice. This will be the side that faces the pan for toasting.
Step 3
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, evenly spread the strawberry jam.
Step 4
Add the cheddar cheese slices on top of the jam, ensuring even coverage.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chopped spiced nuts over the cheese for a delightful crunch.
Step 6
Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the nuts to enhance sweetness and tie flavors together.
Step 7
If using, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the honey for a subtle herbal flavor.
Step 8
Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Step 9
Place the sandwich in the preheated pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the bread gets golden brown and crispy while the cheese melts.
Step 10
Once both sides are toasted, and the cheese is gooey, remove the sandwich from the pan and let it rest for 1 minute before cutting.
Step 11
Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your cheesy jam sandwich with a twist!
