Grilled Cheese 'n Jam Tartine !

   What is better than a warm grilled cheese sandwich or scrumptious buttered toast and jam ? Well, one day I decided to combine two of my favorite foods together ! Here I have buttered toast with aged cheddar cheese broiled on top and a dollop of apricot jam...ooooweee ! You could also put pickles, roasted veggies, olives, arugula, spinach, assorted salad greens, fruit, or anything else that you like on top. Here's my easy-peasy recipe...

                                                           Ingredients

Bread, sour dough, whole wheat, or your choice
Cheese, cheddar, jack, swiss, or your choice cut in slices
Jam, any flavor you like
Additional optional toppings ie.-pickles, olives, arugula, spinach, tomatos, grilled veggies, etc.
Butter

                                                            Procedure

     Turn the broiler on in your oven. Toast 1-2 slices lightly in a toaster. Butter the slices of bread on one side.  Place the slices of cheese on the bread and place on a baking sheet under the broiler. Broil for a few minutes, making sure to watch the bread carefully so it doesn't burn. Add dollops of jam or any toppings that suit your fancy ! Put some fresh fruit or a salad on the side and dive into your ooey gooey grilled cheese tartine !  Hmmm...If it is a cold day, these tartines would be good with a cup of hot chocolate...or a bowl of creamy tomato soup.... sitting in front of a warm fire....oh yeah....
