Step 1
Cut the 8 oz smoked cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices. Pat dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Step 2
Brush both sides of each slice with the 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the cheese slices in the pan, leaving space between them.
Step 4
Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown grill marks appear and the cheese is just soft but not melting away.
Step 5
Transfer the grilled cheese to a plate. Serve immediately with the 2 tbsp cranberry jam and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary leaves.
Step 6
Enjoy warm, while the cheese is still soft and smoky.
