Would you try this sweet/savory grilled cheese with strawberry rhubarb compote, RothCheese Creamy Havarti, balsamic, honey, basil and sourdough for #NationalGrilledCheeseDay?! 🍓🧀 #RothPartner 

Save the RECIPE below 👇 

Roth Creamy Havarti is our go-to for a grilled cheese, especially paired with fruit! It gets SO melty for the perfect cheese pull 😍

 If you’re hosting for Easter (or any spring gathering), we highly recommend any Roth cheeses and spreads (you can find them in the deli section at a store near you!). Such good quality and made in Wisconsin with milk from local farms! #ReachForRoth #RothCheese #SpringForward 

To make the compote: 

1 1/2 cups diced strawberries 
1 cup diced rhubarb
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar 

Add all ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat and simmer for ~10 minutes, until the fruit mostly breaks down (it’s ok to have some larger pieces!) Let cool slightly before using on the sandwich and save leftovers for yogurt, oatmeal, etc. 

To make a sandwich: 

1 tbsp butter
2 slices sourdough (we use a black pepper sourdough that’s delicious with this combo) 
~2-3 tbsp strawberry rhubarb compote
1/3-1/2 cup shredded Roth Havarti Cheese (save the rest for more sandwiches or your next cheese/charcuterie board!) 
Balsamic glaze 
Honey 
3-4 large basil leaves

Heat a skillet over medium and add the butter. Add both slices of bread and cook until golden brown. 

Flip the bread slices, then spread compote on both sides. Top one side with cheese, then drizzle on balsamic, honey and top with basil leaves. Top with the other slice of bread and cook until golden brown on the side facing down, then flip the sandwich and cook until the cheese is melty and the bread is golden brown on the other side. Enjoy!
