Nutty Gruyère cheese is complemented by piquant Dijon mustard and sweet onion jam in this elevated grilled cheese sandwich.

Ingredients

8 (½-inch-thick) slices seeded rye bread
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup onion jam or chutney
6 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded (2 cups)

Directions

Make butter-mayo mixture and spread on bread:

Arrange bread in a single layer on a clean work surface. Stir together butter and mayonnaise. Spread mixture evenly onto one side of every slice (1 scant tablespoon per slice).
Heat skillet; Flip bread and spread Dijon:

Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium. Flip over bread on work surface (so it's plain-side up). Spread Dijon evenly onto 4 slices.
Spread other slices with onion jam:

Spread onion jam onto remaining 4 slices and top evenly with cheese. Carefully sandwich together.
Cook sandwiches:

Place sandwiches in skillet (in two batches, if needed). Reduce heat to medium-low; gently top sandwiches with a lid slightly smaller than skillet for even cooking. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides and cheese is melted, 7 to 9 minutes. Serve immediately.
