Blackberry Brie Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread

  • 4 oz brie cheese, sliced

  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries

  • 2 tbsp blackberry jam

  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze, for drizzling

  • 2 tbsp softened butter

Directions

  1. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer half of the brie cheese slices evenly over the bread.

  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of blackberry jam over the brie, then top with half of the fresh blackberries. Place the remaining brie slices on top of the blackberries and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

  4. Top each sandwich with the second slice of sourdough, buttered side facing out.

  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sandwiches to the skillet.

  6. Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.

  7. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half and serving.
