    From the Test Kitchen

    These flavorful sandwiches highlight layers of smoky gouda and melty cheddar cheese, fig spread, and tender sautéed bell pepper—deliciously brought together inside crunchy toasted sourdough. For a burst of bright flavor, we’re rounding out the dish with a side salad of crisp romaine lettuce and bites of juicy orange.

    Glazed Pepper & Fig Jam Grilled Cheese with Romaine & Orange Salad
    Title
    • 4 slices Sourdough Pullman Bread
    • 1 Bell Pepper
    • 1 Romaine Lettuce Heart
    • 2 oz Smoked Gouda Cheese
    • 1 Tbsp Fig Spread
    • 2 Tbsps Balsamic Vinegar
    • 1 Navel Orange
    • 2 oz White Cheddar Cheese
    • 3 Tbsps Roasted Garlic Onion Dressing
    Prepare the ingredients & make the dressing
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the dressing

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper(s). Quarter lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thinly slice the gouda and cheddar. Roughly chop the lettuce. Peel the orange(s) and separate the segments.

    2 Cook the pepper

    In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced pepper(s); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until coated. Turn off the heat.

    3 Assemble the sandwiches

    Assemble the sandwiches using the bread, fig spread, cooked pepper(s), and sliced gouda and cheddar; season with salt and pepper.

    4 Cook the sandwiches

    Rinse and wipe out the pan. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Working in batches if necessary, add the sandwiches; loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping). Transfer to a cutting board and immediately season with salt. Carefully halve the cooked sandwiches on an angle.
