Some days call for a simple grilled cheese. Other days call for something a little more special, and this fancy grilled cheese is for those days. We took the classic you grew up with and dressed it up with sweet fig jam, salty prosciutto, fresh thyme, and a final drizzle of honey. It feels just as at home on a cozy weeknight as it does at the center of a weekend lunch with friends.
Three Organic Cheeses, One Sandwich
The real star of this fancy grilled cheese is the cheese itself. This recipe uses all three of our Organic Raw Milk Cheeses: Spring Frolic, Harvest Frolic, and Buttermilk Cheddar. Each one starts with milk from pasture-raised, grass-fed cows on small family farms that practice regenerative farming. Stacking all three gives you a melt that’s rich, layered, and seriously stretchy, and each bite shows a slightly different side of the milk they’re made from.
What Makes This Grilled Cheese Fancy
What makes this grilled cheese fancy is how the flavors play off each other. Fig jam and honey bring sweetness, prosciutto adds a salty bite, and fresh thyme keeps it all bright and herby. Crispy, buttery sourdough holds it together. The one rule to remember is low and slow: medium-low heat gives the cheese time to melt fully without burning the bread. Then cut it in half and pull it apart for that cheese stretch.
