Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 8 oz smoked cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices. Pat dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

  2. Step 2

    Brush both sides of each slice with the 1 tbsp olive oil.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the cheese slices in the pan, leaving space between them.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer the grilled cheese to a plate. Serve immediately with the 2 tbsp cranberry jam and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary leaves.

  6. Step 6

    Enjoy warm, while the cheese is still soft and smoky.
