Description

A sweet and savory twist on the classic grilled cheese, this Brie, Apple, and Cranberry Grilled Cheese is perfect for a cozy lunch or light dinner, featuring creamy brie, tart cranberries, and crisp apple slices.


Ingredients

  • 2 slices of sourdough bread
  • 2 oz brie cheese, sliced
  • 1/4 apple, thinly sliced (preferably Granny Smith)
  • 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter, softened


Instructions

  1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Place one slice, buttered side down, in the skillet.
  4. Layer with brie slices, apple slices, and cranberry sauce.
  5. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
  6. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a tart apple like Granny Smith for contrast against the sweet cranberry sauce.
  • For added crunch, try adding a few chopped walnuts.
  • You can use whole grain or rye bread instead of sourdough for a different flavor profile.
