Festive Cranberry and Brie Grilled Cheese

This cranberry and brie sandwich is melty sweet and savory perfection. Rolling in with a quickie: a triple decker cranberry and brie grilled cheese. I love cranberries and brie together. There’s something ultra festive about cranberries and brie together. I think it might be because the very first time I ever had brie was at a Christmas party.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon room temperature butter
  • 3 slices bread of choice (I used sourdough)
  • 6 slices brie cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce

Festive Cranberry and Brie Grilled Cheese:

  1. Melt a bit of the butter (not all of it) in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add one slice of bread and top with half the brie. Dot it with cranberry sauce and then put another slice of bread on top.
  3. When the bottom is golden brown, flip, add a bit more butter to the pan. On top of the toasted side, add the remaining brie and cranberry sauce, topping with the third slice of bread.
  4. When the bottom is golden, add the last bit of butter to the pan, flip and cook until golden and melted. Enjoy!

Helpful Hints:

  • This recipe works as a regular grilled cheese too if you don’t want to triple decker it.
  • Adjust the amount of cranberry sauce and brie to your taste.
