Jam and Cheese on Bread

11 years ago

My friend is hosting a charity event. The walk around food he wants it to be includes my jams and bread slices with cheese pairings. Combinations as the guest would eat it at home. I can think of red tomato jam and cheddar cheese on whole wheat, hot pepper jam with cream cheese on challah, fig jam and goat cheese on baguette slice, and then I run out of ideas. No meat or other condiments allowed, no heating, just bread, cheese, jam and chutney. Can you help me with ideas? I make 50 different sweet jams and 6 chutneys so what you name I've probably made. Thank you !

I make a cranberry/raspberry/ habanero jam that is heaven on a baguette with goat cheese....or Maytag Blue.
Strawberry jam and mascarpone ( is that allowed?) on brioche.

I've not made that recipe....but I would just let it rise, punch it down rest 10 minutes and shape... Either free form or loaf. Will you be doing it by hand? or in a mixer or processor? When I make beer bread I just use room temperature beer, and either it's flat ( like from the bottom of a keg) or I make it flat by pouring it from glass to glass....as the "head" makes it hard to mix. But I can't imagine hand kneading dough with velveeta cubes in it....sort of a texture thing....and I don't think that kind of cheese grates well at all....so I would use all grated chedder and add it with the flour.

lpinkmountain, Have you thought about a ravioli-style cookie? It is really not too fiddly. Roll out your cookie dough into 2 rectangles, one slightly larger than the other. Cover the larger so it doesn't dry out while you work with the first. Then score the other rectangle into squares about 2" square. Drop about a teaspoon of your jam into each square. Carefully lay other dough rectangle on top. Press together in the spaces/rows between the mounds (I'd start with the center rows), cut apart, and bake. If you have one of those ravioli makers (press or roller) even better. I don't think you really need to cut vent holes. This is cookie dough, not pie dough, so should absorb any moisture just fine. Also, you are not cooking fresh fruit which is comprised of a large percentage of water, but a jam which is already cooked and will not release much steam during this short bake time. Google "ravioli cookies" and you will find many versions to guide you. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I make this one with ham but you can use cooked sausage in it and it is very good: This is the one I really like-it is from a special friend in CA: Brunch Casserole 12 slices white bread 3c ham chunks 3c shredded cheese Grease the bottom of a 9x13" pan. Lay 6 slices of bread in pan; top with cheese and ham and cover with remaining bread. Beat together 6 eggs, 2 1/2c milk, S&P taste and dash of dry mustard. Pour over all. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350Ã¯Â¿Â½ for 50-60 minutes. Optional: May add 2 c chopped broccoli and/or 1c sauteed mushrooms.

Not a jam - but I buy a homemade Cranberry Feta Almond Spread whenever it is available at a market I shop. It is delicious on bread as well as pita crackers. I'll admit here to eating it right out of a spoon. Yum!

Funny....my lunch today was toasted multi-gran sandwich thins with goat cheese and peach-chipotle jam (bread and cheese left over from our Hunger Games movie night). It was pretty darn good.

Not sure what your bread options are, but here are some combos of cheese and jam that work...

pear jam and Maytag Blue

mango or peach and Stilton that has mango in it

apple pie jam (or apple butter) with white cheddar

cherry jam with cream cheese or triple brie

I'm sure you'll get more ideas. I would go to a good cheese shop and do some tasting.

I'm thinking more about what cheeses I like, and what preserves go well with them.

Hot pepper jelly on brie or camembert

I like Seville or red grapefruit marmalade on Dubliner, actually I love bitter marmalade on just about anything

Apricot chutney on boucheron

Savory herb jelly over feta or chevre

Balsamic red pepper jelly over gorgonzola dolce

One way to look at it is to first choose the cheeses, then match ja,s, and then the proper bread. Break the decision-making into units like that. How many different items do you want to do?

My Dad's favorite sandwich was Cheddar Cheese with Strawberry Jam. What's not to love!
