Brie Apple Cranberry Grilled Cheese

 


      Always in the mood for a good grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of soup?   So are we.  This is a new one I found online.  I love the individual flavors of each of the ingredients, so this marriage seemed 'au natural'.  Gooey, messy, and savory this one has it all.  What is it about cranberries that add the perfect flavor of sweet/tart.  I've also seen recipes for this sandwich with pears.  The brand of apple and type of bread you use is an individual preference, but this time in the Texas Hill Country I use what I can find.  Use a good quality whole grain bread as ours ended up a bit soggy.  However, the sweeter the apple the better.  

4 slices of sourdough bread

2 Tbsp. butter

Extra virgin olive oil

8 ounces chilled Brie, sliced thin

1 Honeycrisp apple, cut into thin slices

1/2 cup whole berry

cranberry sauce


      Butter the 4 slices of bread and brush the other side with the olive oil.  Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.  Place two slices of bread butter side down in the skillet and assemble as follows:  Brie, thin sliced apple, and cranberry last.  Top with slice of bread.  


      Reduce heat and cook until browned and then flip.  Some folks like to press the sandwich down with a spatula or a weight.  Keep an eye on the melting cheese.  When browned on both sides, remove and cut in half; serve with choice of hot soup.  We LOVE chicken noodle.  Your taste buds will not doze on this one.
