Cinnamon brie and apple grilled cheese



Last week I bought brie to make a panini with cheese, chocolate, and basil. Everyone told me that it sounded terrible, but being the stubborn person that I am, I really wanted to try it. Well, everyone was right and it wasn't so great. So this week, I thought I would make a sandwich that I knew would be amazing! Feel like surprising your palate? Want to try something different and delicious? Try this grilled cheese recipe. Sweet cinnamon bread, paired with tart granny smith apple, and creamy tangy brie leave your mouth happy and wishing for more. This dish is a crowd pleaser any time of day. Satisfying, flavorful, and something outside of the box, make this sandwich when you want to shake up your palate!

Cinnamon Brie and Apple Grilled Cheese adapted from USA Today

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 ounces Brie cheese, white rind trimmed, or other cheese, at room temperature

• 2 slices whole wheat bread

• 2 to 3 thin slices peeled Granny Smith or other apple

• 1 teaspoon butter, softened

• a sprinkle of cinnamon


Directions:

1. Spread the Brie on one side of each piece of bread. Place apple on top of one slice and top with the other slice, cheese side down. Spread the butter on the other sides of the bread. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the bread with the butter.

2. Place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the bottom is golden and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully turn the sandwich and cook until golden and the cheese has melted completely.


Suggestion: Try mixing it up and playing around with different breads. Try sourdough to tone down the sweetness or cinnamon raisin bread to play it up! I don't think you can really go wrong here.... Enjoy! :)
