Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 ounces Brie cheese
- 1 cup Grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced Apple slices
- 2 tablespoons Blackberry jam
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Place two slices of the bread, buttered side down, onto a clean surface like a cutting board or plate.
Spread 1 tablespoon of blackberry jam on the unbuttered side of each bread slice.
Layer 2 ounces of brie cheese on top of the jam on each slice of bread.
Add thinly sliced apple over the brie cheese, followed by 1/2 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese on each sandwich.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the cheese and layer 2 fresh basil leaves on top of each sandwich for a fragrant flavor boost.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing outwards.
Carefully transfer one sandwich to the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula to encourage crispness and even melting.
Flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.
Repeat the cooking process with the second sandwich.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, allow them to cool slightly, and then slice each one in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Fruity Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
