Main Ingredients
- 2 slices thick bread, your choice
- 2 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1 tbsp blackberry jam (or jam of your choice)
- 1 tbsp butter, for grilling
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about one minute to ensure even cooking.
- Butter Bread: Generously spread butter on one side of each bread slice to achieve a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
- Start Grilling: Place one bread slice, buttered side down, onto the heated skillet to begin toasting.
- Add Brie Cheese: Arrange sliced brie evenly over the bread in the skillet, allowing it to soften and melt slightly.
- Spread Jam: Generously drape blackberry jam over the brie to add a sweet and tangy flavor contrast.
- Top Bread Slice: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up, to form the sandwich.
- Grill First Side: Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip Sandwich: Carefully turn the sandwich to grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly to set, then cut and enjoy your heavenly brie and blackberry jam grilled cheese.
Notes
- Use thick bread slices for best texture and to hold the filling well.
- Brie melts nicely but be careful not to overcook to avoid loss of creaminess.
- Swap blackberry jam for any other favorite jam (raspberry, fig, apricot) to customize flavor.
- Grilling buttered sides ensures a crisp and golden crust; don’t skip this step.
- Serve immediately for the best melted cheese experience.
