Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of hearty bread (such as sourdough or multigrain)
- 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 2 oz Brie cheese, sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp butter, softened (for spreading)
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread and Spread Butter: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread the cranberry sauce evenly. Layer the sliced Brie cheese over the cranberry sauce, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Close and Grill the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the bread turns golden brown and the cheeses melt beautifully.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut in half. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a savory twist, add thin slices of turkey or ham for added protein and flavor.
- Use whole-berry cranberry sauce to enhance texture and provide a burst of flavor.
