Jam & Prosciutto Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese
This Jam & Prosciutto Goat Cheese Grilled Cheese is an easy sandwich made with goat cheese, prosciutto, and jam. It’s a great option for a quick lunch, brunch, or simple weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Serves 2 sandwiches
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 9 oz goat cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil for toasting
The jam (made in an 8oz cocotte) *See note
- 3/4 cup blackberries
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Make blackberry jam: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add blackberries, lemon and sugar to cocotte and let macerate for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. I like to put the cocotte on a baking sheet to ensure no dripping in the oven. Once done, let cool and transfer to the fridge for at least 30 more minutes to let it firm up.
- Make the goat cheese: Chop fresh basil into ribbons and combine with softened goat cheese, and honey.
- Assemble melt: Scoop goat cheese spread onto sourdough bread and spread in an even layer. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese a few spoonfuls of jam and 3 slices of prosciutto. Close sandwich.
- Add oil/butter to a skillet and add sandwich. Cook for about 4-5 min per side on medium to low heat, until cheese is melty and the bread is golden brown. Enjoy!

Notes
*Note: When I am making a small batch of jam, I like to bake it in an 8oz cocotte. Alternatively, you could to it on the stovetop. To make a small batch of blackberry jam on the stovetop, add the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring often and gently mashing the berries as they soften, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. Remove from the heat and let cool before using, keeping in mind the jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
