Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices bread (thick, your choice)
Cheese and Jam
- 2 oz brie cheese (sliced)
- 1 tbsp blackberry jam (or another jam of choice)
For Grilling
- 1 tbsp butter (for grilling)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for a minute to prepare for grilling the sandwich.
- Butter the bread: Generously spread butter on one side of each slice of your chosen bread to ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
- Start grilling: Place one slice of the bread in the skillet, buttered side down, creating the base of your sandwich.
- Add the brie cheese: Arrange the luscious sliced brie cheese evenly on top of the bread to melt beautifully.
- Add the blackberry jam: Generously drape the blackberry jam over the brie, adding a sweet and tangy flavor contrast.
- Top with second slice: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up, completing the sandwich assembly.
- Cook the first side: Sizzle the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Flip carefully: Carefully turn the sandwich over, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to brown the other side and fully melt the cheese.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting to allow the cheese and jam to set slightly.
Notes
- Use thick slices of bread to support the brie and jam without becoming soggy.
- For a richer flavor, choose a high-quality creamy brie cheese.
- Other jam flavors like raspberry or fig work well as alternatives to blackberry.
- You can add a pinch of fresh thyme or black pepper on the brie for extra flavor.
- Cook on medium heat to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts.
