Description

Golden grilled sandwich filled with melty Mozzarella, creamy Brie, and tangy cranberry sauce. Perfectly crisp outside, gooey inside.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sturdy bread (sourdough, country white, multigrain)

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

  • 23 tablespoons cranberry sauce

  • ¼ cup shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar Jack

  • 23 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.
