Colombian Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Guava Jam
This grilled cheese sandwich is made with a Colombian cheese called queso Paipa, and guava jam. The salty and the sweet go great together, as Colombians have known for ages. Oozing cheese, sweet guava and crispy bread...
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread of choice
- queso Paipa, sliced thinly or replace with other melty cheese like mozarella or cheddar
- Colombian bocadillo or guava paste/jam
- butter
- water, if necessary
Instructions
- When using blocks of Colombian bocadillo, place in a microwave proof bowl with some water. Microwave until melted (about 30-40 sec), stir halfway. Set aside until using. When using ready-to-use guava jam or paste, check if it needs some water to spread easier
- Put plenty of cheese on one slice of bread. Spread out guava jam of the other and press together firmly. Butter the outsides of the sandwich generously
- Bake sandwich in a frying or grilling pan until the outsides are crispy and the cheese comes melting out. You might want to turn low and put a lid on to get the best meltiest result
- Enjoy while warm
