Grilled Cheese with Blackberries

 

Grilled Cheese with Blackberries

(2 servings)

Ingredients:

4 slices Bread (see note)

2 tbsp. Blackberry Preserves

8 oz. Brie Cheese, rind removed

6 oz. Fresh Blackberries

2-3 tbsp. Mayonnaise

Directions:

Spread 2 slices of bread with pressure evenly.  Slice Brie into 4 equal slices and top pressure with a slice each.  Now evenly divide the fresh blackberries on the Brie.  Top with remaining 2 slices of Brie and the last 2 slices of bread.  Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  While pan is heating, spread half the mayonnaise on the top of the 2 sandwiches.  Place then mayonnaise side down in pan and spread remaining mayonnaise evenly over the 2 bread tops.  Grill 2-3 minutes or until golden brown before flipping.  Repeat process for this side, remove, slice in half diagonally and serve.

Notes:              You want to use some hardy bread for this sandwich.  Look for bread that is rectangular in shape (example 4”x7”).  Some good possibilities include whole wheat, 7-grain, 12-grain or some loaf from the bakery that needs to be sliced.

Notes:              This recipe can be doubled easily.  You can change up the fruit and/or the cheese too.  You want to use a pressure or jam and the appropriate fresh fruit.  With the cheese, you want to use something that is creamy and melts well.

Notes:              Why mayonnaise instead of butter?  I have found that mayonnaise is much less greasy than butter.  It saves on your fingers and mess.  Once you try it, you won’t go back to butter.  It tastes great too.
