Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 4 slices thick sliced bread (such as Sara Lee® Artesano™)
Dairy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces brie cheese, sliced
- 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced (optional)
Fruit
- 1/2 cup blueberries (or blackberries or strawberries)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking and melting of the cheese.
- Butter the bread: Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Place two slices butter-side down onto the heated skillet to start toasting.
- Add brie cheese: Layer sliced brie cheese evenly over the bread slices in the skillet to melt.
- Add berries and cheddar: Distribute the blueberries and, if using, sharp cheddar slices over the brie to add flavor and texture.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the remaining bread slices on top, butter side facing out, creating a sandwich ready for grilling.
- Cook until golden and melted: Grill the sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts fully.
Notes
- Substitute blueberries with blackberries or strawberries for different fruit flavors.
- The sharp cheddar cheese is optional and adds a nice tangy contrast to the creamy brie.
- Use thick sliced bread for a sturdier sandwich that holds the fillings well.
- Monitoring the heat is essential to avoid burning the bread while allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly.
