Cranberry Brie Grilled Cheese

You better brie-lieve you’re gonna love this sweet and cheesy grilled cheese sandwich. The combination of the tart cranberries paired with the luxuriously smooth, creamy-textured brie cheese sandwiched together with the buttery and crunchy bread will send your taste buds soaring. It’s the quintessential cozy comfort food served with a side of warming soup, and is the perfect way to use up any of those cranberry sauce leftovers.

The cheese:
You’ll need 2 (6-oz.) brie wedges for this recipe. Keep it chilled until you’re ready to cut it. Cut off the tip and the end (the rind) and use the creamy inside, generously slicing widthwise. If you can't find any brie, an alternative is Camembert, brie’s close cousin.

The bread:
Choose a thick-cut, hearty white bread. It will hold up well with the chunks of melted brie.

The cranberry sauce:
I prefer using a whole-berry cranberry sauce, but if you prefer the smoother jellied version, you can feel free to use that; it’s equally good here.

The butter:
Be sure the butter is left at room temperature so it’s easily spreadable. Keep the heat on medium so it doesn’t burn and ruin your grilled cheese.
