Instructions

  1. Step 1: Spread 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter evenly on one side of each of the 4 crusty rustic bread slices.
  2. Step 2: Flip the bread slices so the buttered sides face out. On the unbuttered side of 2 slices, spread 2 tbsp quince jam evenly.
  3. Step 3: Layer 3 oz thinly sliced Manchego cheese on top of the quince jam on each slice.
  4. Step 4: Top with the remaining 2 bread slices, buttered side out, to form sandwiches.
  5. Step 5: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches in the pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the Manchego cheese melts.
  6. Step 6: Remove sandwiches from heat, let sit for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
