Mozzarella, Raspberry and Brown Sugar Grilled Cheese~

My sister, Maddy, had these sandwiches pinned on Pinterest. She is an artist from Denver and one of her latest realms is jewelry making. She buys vintage jewelry and refashions it into more contemporary, wearable designs. I hosted a coffee for my friends to see and purchase her works of art. This was a good excuse for us to cook together…and these grilled cheese sandwiches were our delicious lunch one day.

Mozzarella, Raspberry and Brown Sugar Grilled Cheese Sandwich…adapted from Gaida DeLaurentis

8 1/2-inch slices Italian bread
Olive oil
1/2 cup raspberry jam
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 8 slices
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Brush both sides of bread slices with olive oil. Spread raspberry jam on one side of each slice. Sprinkle rosemary over jam, then top 4 of the slices with two slices of mozzarella. Season with salt. Place second slice of bread, jam side down, over mozzarella topped slice. Sprinkle top with brown sugar.

Heat skillet and grill both sides of sandwich till bread is golden and cheese is melted. Put lid over skillet to facilitate melting if needed.
