Now that I had my green tomato and jalapeno jam the question was; What to do with it? Since the green tomato and jalapeno jam reminded me of a chutney that got me to thinking about the grilled cheese sandwich with mango chutney that I had enjoyed so much. I figured that a grilled cheese sandwich with green tomato and jalapeno jam would be a perfect place to start trying out the jam. The first time that I tried adding a jam or chutney to a grilled cheese sandwich I was surprised by how well the sweet and savoury combination worked and since then I have been enjoying experimenting with different combinations. The grilled cheese sandwich with green tomato and jalapeno jam was no different and the sweet and savoury jam worked really well with the melted gooey cheese and the crisp and buttery grilled bread. After the flavours died down you were left with a nice warm in your mouth provided by the heat from the jalapenos. So far I am really liking this green tomato and jalapeno jam and I can’t wait to use it again.

What a great idea to add Jalapeno Jam to this! Now, I'm thinking about everything it might be good with….
Oh, that looks so good! But then, everything you make looks good!
O, Man….this sounds so so good. I need to look at the T&J. jam recipe and then make this sandwich..
Yum…

Yummy!!! I love fresh tomato in my grilled cheese. My type of comfort food.
Yummmmm! Awesome cold weather food!
Yum! I am trying this for lunch tomorrow. I love a good grilled cheese.
cheese and tomatoes are a match made in heaven! yummy!
Kevin…this looks great, as always! The bread in your recipes (especially the grilled sandwich recipes) always looks fabulous…do you make that too?
Elizabeth: Fresh home made bread is so addictively food and I sometimes make my own. In this case though I used a whole grain store bought bread that contains quinoa and amaranth.
Sweet and savory combinations cannot be beat. Especially not in grilled cheese sandwiches!
This grilled cheese sandwich is super duper special.
I love your blog! I just happened upon it while looking for something to do with my over-ripe bananas. I'm cooking some of your Banana Buttermilk Pancakes while I type this and peruse your other recipes. YUM! Thank you. 🙂
I've been following your blog for a couple of weeks now and I really hate coming here. Every time I do I drool all over the monitor and keyboard. lol
Awesome as always.
So creative!! I'd love to try it.
Great minds think alike on the grilled cheese! This sounds heavenly!
oh my! this is kicked up grilled cheese! love it!
Man that sounds excellent. The only thing that could make it better is the addition of some high quality ham such as proscuitto, serrano, or black forest.
I like your site a lot. You have a lot of very creative food and I like how alot of your recipes are from different cultures.
Yummy!
