Instructions

  1. Step 1: Spread 1/8 cup quince jam evenly over two slices of rustic country bread. Top each with 3 oz sliced Manchego cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter until foaming. Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
  3. Step 3: Carefully flip the sandwich, add remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan, and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until golden and the Manchego cheese melts.
  4. Step 4: Remove sandwich from skillet, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
