Cooking Steps
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.
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.
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.)
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.
Reviews from our home cooks
Amazing!! With my first bite my eyes got big and my taste buds did a happy dance. So good!
OMG! The best grilled cheese. The cherry jam was amazing. A very sophisticated bistro style sandwich. Better than a restaurant!
Yummy for a grilled cheese. The bread wasn't grilled cheese enough.. I think it needed butter outside
Great flavor, would have slightly toasted 1 bread side before building and quickly sautéed the shallots
A little soggy from the onions and jam but the onions were my favorite part!
Will make again but will add greens very simple and yummy
Added chicken breast to the sandwiches and it was great.
