Description
Indulge in the perfect blend of sweet and savory with this Cinnamon Brie Apple Grilled Cheese. This gourmet sandwich features gooey Brie cheese, crisp apple slices, and a hint of cinnamon-honey butter, all grilled to melty perfection between slices of hearty bread.
Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 8 slices hearty bread (such as sourdough or multigrain)
Brie Cheese:
- 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced with rind removed if preferred
Apples:
- 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
Cinnamon-Honey Butter:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon-Honey Butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, honey, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cinnamon-honey butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Lay four slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Layer with Brie slices and apple slices, dividing evenly among sandwiches. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Grill Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
- Serve: Slice in half and serve warm.
Notes
- Use crisp, slightly tart apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best contrast with the creamy Brie.
- For a savory twist, add a few slices of prosciutto before grilling.
