Cooking Steps

1

Halve, peel, and slice shallot. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shallot, vinegar, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to use.

2

Slice mozzarella into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Spread bread with cherry jam; place on a clean work surface, jam sides up. Top with mozzarella and pickled shallots (drain first). Top with remaining bread jam sides down.

3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook until bread is golden and cheese has melted slightly, 2-3 minutes per side. (Work in batches if necessary.)

4

Halve and serve.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: The cherry jam and pickled shallots added a unique twist, though some wanted more pronounced flavors 🍒.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with a sophisticated bistro-style result that impressed many.
  • Suggestions: Consider toasting one side of the bread first and sautéing the shallots for extra crispiness.
  • Portions: Some found one packet of cherry jam insufficient; consider adding more for a stronger flavor.
  • Texture: A few noted the sandwich could be soggy; try draining the shallots well before adding.

Yummy for a grilled cheese. The bread wasn't grilled cheese enough.. I think it needed butter outside
