Wow. It's been a month. Between the end of classes, concerts, finals and friends graduating I've barely been able to cook, let alone remember to update the blog. But I have been cooking I promise! So I've got a few recipes lined up, so hopefully they'll be up soon!
Anyway, a few weeks ago (more like a month) I was craving a grilled cheese, but I didn't want to settle for your typical dining hall grilled cheese. After having an discussion about cheese, more specifically Brie, I decided I wanted a Brie and apple grilled cheese sandwich, and who wouldn't want one?
...I mean, come on, look at that delicious sandwich. So I went on a trip to the grocery store (which, as a car-less college student is quite a pain) and I got myself some Brie and some apples and went on my merry way. If I'd had the time I would have tried to make my own bread, but since I don't have the resources at school I couldn't. The recipe itself is pretty easy, but it is definitely worth it.
What you'll need:
- A small wheel of Brie. You can also use any cut of Brie that is the same weight as the average small wheel.
- 2 medium-large apples. Choose your favorite variety.
- A tablespoon of butter
- A non-stick pan
Cut the apples and Brie in thin slices and place them on one of the pieces of bread. Using a sharp knife helps you cut straighter and keep your slices more consistent. Once you've cut up all of the apples and brie heat the pan to a low-medium heat and grease it with the butter once the pan is warm.
Place the Brie and and apples on one piece of the bread and put it on the pan. While the sandwich cooks place brie on the other piece of bread and put it on top of the half of the sandwich already in the pan.
Wait for the cheese to start melting on the bottom slice and then flip the sandwich over. The piece of bread that is facing up should be a golden brown by now. Wait for the Brie on the bottom to melt and flip the sandwich again. Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is meted remove from the pan and place on a plate. Cut it however you want and enjoy!
This recipe is incredibly easy and incredibly delicious! When you get a chance you should definitely try it!
