Colombian Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Guava Jam

This grilled cheese sandwich is made with a Colombian cheese called queso Paipa, and guava jam. The salty and the sweet go great together, as Colombians have known for ages. Oozing cheese, sweet guava and crispy bread...

📝 Ingredients

• 2 slices bread of choice
• queso Paipa, sliced thinly (or replace with other melty cheese like mozarella or cheddar)
• Colombian bocadillo or guava paste/jam
• butter
• water, if necessary

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1When using blocks of Colombian bocadillo, place in a microwave proof bowl with some water. Microwave until melted (about 30-40 sec), stir halfway. Set aside until using. When using ready-to-use guava jam or paste, check if it needs some water to spread easier
2. 2Put plenty of cheese on one slice of bread. Spread out guava jam of the other and press together firmly. Butter the outsides of the sandwich generously
3. 3Bake sandwich in a frying or grilling pan until the outsides are crispy and the cheese comes melting out. You might want to turn low and put a lid on to get the best meltiest result
4. 4Enjoy while warm
