A hot and melty Cherry Fig Jam and three-cheese grilled cheese.
In terms of comfort food, a gooey grilled cheese sandwich is the comfiest. As much as we love the original American cheese version, there are hundreds of cheeses and other add-ons out there to really spruce up this classic. We assigned our head chef with the enviable task of using our Savory Cherry Fig Jam in a delicious grilled cheese sandwich.
Update! A loyal Citizen of the Republic from Palo Alto, CA, recently shared her take on this recipe, changing it up a bit to make it even more delicious:
I baked the sandwiches open face with some deli ham, cheddar cheese, and halved fresh figs on top until the cheese was melted. Thanks to you, I now have a new favorite food!
How To Make This Ooey Gooey Grilled Cheese

Keeping with tradition, he chose to use a fresh loaf of white bread. To spruce it up, white cheddar, muenster and Parmesan cheeses were used.
Spread one side of two pieces of bread with rosemary butter. Next, place the bread, butter side down, into the grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the bread in a nonstick skillet, butter and cheese side down, on medium heat.
Quickly top with white cheddar & muenster cheeses, then slather with Cherry Fig Jam. When cheese is melted, flip one piece of bread on top of the other.
