That's how we served it at the café I used to work at. Not my favorite though. My husband and I (wow, it feels weird to say husband) sometimes add a fried egg and some ketchup on top.

I recently made a fontina and fig jam gcs that was to die for!

Interesting combo - I've never considered adding jelly on top, but I will now.

I've actually never heard of that, but it does sound pretty good!

Fig or apricot jam is good with melted brie and ham.

Not thanks- I am ALLL set with that. But then again, no one would think a peanut butter, mayo and olive sandwich would be good either? haha

At first i thought NO WAY GROSS!!! but when i was young, i would sometimes have toast with mozzarella and jam. the cheese wasnt melted because it wasnt a grilled cheese, it was just toasted bread... i havent had that in YEARS... but i guess this would be good after all.

i've tried this once...it certainly gives a different taste:D which is not for me...

i use Lingonberry, being norwegian

I love grilled cheeses with fruit or jam!

Brie with anything is yummy! I like apple chutney or white grape preserves.
Honeyed goat cheese with pears... mmmm.
Cream cheese and banana!
Cheddar and apple.

So yummy! I don't usually eat it on top though. I peel back a slice of the bread and put the jelly inside.

it's awesome.. i love block cheddar with strawberry preserves...soooooo gooey and delicious!

I'm willing to try it, but I would never think of doing it on my own!

Why not? It depends on the cheese though. I think raspberry with the right cheese would be yummy.

Sure, sounds good!

nope - no jam for me. although i do put ketchup on the plate to dip - kind of like a cheeseburger w/o the meat (yay vegetarianism)

the only sandwiches I will eat jam or preserves on are PB&J or a Monte Cristo.

I would probably try it, though it does sound strange--it reminds me of how my dad would always eat bacon & strawberry jelly sandwiches on toast when I was little, and I ended up loving the same combination.

I was thinking, probably not, but I'd give it a try.
Then I read CiaoBella's post
and remembered how yummy apricot preserves are with brie--I love that combo in puff pastry!

I'm convinced, now.
Lisabarn--Fontina and fig sounds good too

Mu husband made this for hiself when I was out one day after seeing it on Ham on the Street. I think he used swiss and strawberry jam...he said it was great!

i eat rasberry jame with a monte cristo so why not? sounds kinda tasty!

I got admit, I never thought about it, but thats a very convincing picture.

No

Yes, I love grape jelly on grilled cheese!

Mmmm, I love jam and grilled cheese.

Everything taratootie said sounds good- cheddar with green apple slices is one of my faves, actually!

But I think my absolute favorite combo, to this point, has been blackberry jam with mozzarella or provolone.

I think I'd use onion jam with grilled cheese. Does that combination count though? Since onions are usually savory...

NO jamm way.

I think a good cheese and fruit preserve pairing would taste amazing.

sure, I would try it..it sounds good

Mm, I think it'd be especially good with sour cherry jam or cranberry jam and brie. Mmm mmm!!!

I'm with taratootie & Rigatoni - hubby turned me on to this 25 years ago. YUMMY!

I've never considered that before. It sounds like it would be good, though. Will definitely have to try!

I don't like jelly...but if I did, I'd try it!

It'd be nice with Chili Jam.

I love sweet/savory combos! One of my favorite quick breakfasts at home is a piece of toast with jelly and a fried egg on top. Yummmm....

OK, this is like the fattest thing ever. But has anyone tried the "Monte Cristo" from Bennigan's?

It's a fried ham and turkey sandwich served with powdered sugar and raspberry jam?

It's so good, but I can only eat it once a year since it's huge, battered and deep fried. That why me and my sister call it the "Monte CRISCO"

I think with the right cheese/jam combo, this would be amazing. My best friend makes a great appetizer by spreading jam over a wheel of brie, covering it in crescent roll dough, and then baking it. its amazing! I also looooooove to eat salty cheese (like cheddar or feta) with juicy sweet fruits (like pears or watermelon) so combining these flavors into a sandwich sounds great to me!

Maryanabananas- That sounds like brie en croute... and it IS very very delicious!

Ooh! I've got a spicy-sweet red pepper jelly that would probably taste great on a grilled fontina sandwich!

I love the combination of sweet and savory- I love sweet with EVERYTHING! I'm not really a cheese fan, but this sounds yummy. I'd definitely use all-fruit spread instead of jam or jelly though.

i put splenda on mine - i like them sweet

Maybe. I would have to be in a mood for trying new food combinations. Sometimes I just want something I already know is good, rather than expiermenting,lol.

Try dipping your grill cheese in ketchup, it's killer!

yum..!

That's a good picture! I would try it at least once. It doesn't sound too terrible.

They have jam and cheese panini's at my college, which are yummy. I love trying interesting combination sandwiches.

I'm a HUGE fan of peanut butter on my grilled cheese and bet the jam/jelly would be good, especially if you used a slightly salty cheese to compliment the sweet spread. Mmmm, now I'm hungry...

I love Fig or Strawberry preserves with my grilled cheese. I typically use white cheddar, brie, or gruyere cheese on sourdough bread. It's so yummy! And it reminds me of Paris.

I think that sounds kind of good, surprisingly.

well i love brie and raspberry preserves together, so this seems like a natural pairing to me! plus, i'll try most anything once
