Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 4 slices Thick-sliced brioche bread
- 6 ounces Brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, and honey. Toss until the cranberries are well coated.
Spread the cranberry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries are slightly burst and softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
Slice the brie cheese into thin pieces and set aside.
Take the brioche bread slices and layer half of them with sliced brie and a generous spoonful of the roasted cranberry mixture. Top each with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, place one sandwich in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding the remaining butter as needed.
Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them cool slightly. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a pop of flavor and presentation.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Roasted Cranberry Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
