Cooking Steps

1

Spread half the sourdough slices with cranberry jam. Evenly top jammy slices with 2-3 slices of cheese. Top with remaining slices to make sandwiches.

2

Heat 1 TBSP butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches; cook until bread is golden and cheese melts, 4-6 minutes per side. (Work in batches if necessary.)

3

Cut in half on a diagonal and serve.
