Pickled Peach Grilled Cheese with Virginia Ham

Pickled Peach Grilled Cheese with Virginia Ham

These little slider grilled cheese sandwiches are packed with flavor and they make the perfect bite-size appetizers and party snack. Filled with a dollop of woodsy mulberry jam, some salty slices of Virginia ham, a couple of bright pickled peach segments, and nutty shreds of gouda and then grilled between two buttery sweet slices of Hawaiian bread, this sandwich packs quite the flavorful punch.

And the best part is that this sandwich is good all year round - whether you're making it in the middle of summer when peaches are perfectly in season or whether you're making it in the dead of winter, after your peaches have been pickling for a few months.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 small slices of gouda
• 1/2 tbsp mulberry jam
• 2 slices of Virginia Ham
• 2 slices of pickled peaches
• 1 Hawaiian Roll
• 2 pats of salted butter
• ** I always recommend using local or organic ingredients because hey, let's be real - they just taste better! **

• PREPARATION

  1. Gently cut 1 Hawaiian roll in half and use the interior of the roll as the new exterior of this grilled cheese sandwich. Smear some mulberry jam onto 1 side of the roll (I source this from Underground Butcher in Wisconsin) and then gently pile on the ham, the pickled peaches, the remaining cheese, and the other half of the Hawaiian roll. Butter both sides of the sandwich and set aside.
  
  2. Turn a burner to medium and gently place sandwich insi
  
  Let cook for a few minutes on each side until the cheese has melted and the bread has crisped up and become golden. When it's perfectly grilled on each side, take it off the heat and set aside to let it cool for a minute and then serve
