Description
Golden grilled sandwich filled with melty Mozzarella, creamy Brie, and tangy cranberry sauce. Perfectly crisp outside, gooey inside.
Ingredients
-
2 slices sturdy bread (sourdough, country white, multigrain)
-
1 tablespoon butter, softened
-
2–3 tablespoons cranberry sauce
-
¼ cup shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar Jack
-
2–3 slices Brie, Camembert, or goat cheese
-
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, for frying
-
Optional: arugula, jalapeños, or sriracha
Instructions
-
Spread butter on both sides of each bread slice.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-low. Add both bread slices and toast one side.
-
Flip both slices. On one, layer Mozzarella, then cranberry sauce, then Brie. Add optional extras.
-
Top with the second slice, toasted side in.
-
Press gently and fry until golden—about 3 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed.
-
Remove, rest for 1 minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
-
Brie is easier to slice when slightly chilled.
-
Use thick bread to prevent sogginess.
-
Let sandwich rest after cooking to help cheese set.
-
Add fresh herbs, nuts, or greens for extra flavor and texture.
