Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon blackberry jam
- 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 slices whole-grain sandwich bread, preferably country-style
- 3 slices Brie cheese (2 ounces)
- Cooking spray (for skillet and bread)
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, stir together the blackberry jam, whole-grain mustard, and finely chopped fresh rosemary until well combined to create a flavorful spread.
- Assemble the sandwich: Evenly spread the jam mixture over one side of one bread slice. Layer the Brie cheese slices on top of the spread, then cover with the second bread slice, pressing lightly to secure.
- Heat the skillet: Lightly coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium-low heat to warm up, ensuring gentle toasting without burning.
- Prepare the bread for grilling: Spray the outsides of both bread slices with cooking spray to achieve a golden and crispy crust while grilling.
- Cook the sandwich: Place the sandwich in the heated skillet, cover it with a lid, and cook until the bottom bread slice is golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich, cover again, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is golden and the Brie cheese has fully melted.
- Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve immediately for the best creamy and fruity flavor experience.
Notes
- Use fresh rosemary finely chopped for the best aromatic flavor; dried rosemary can be too overpowering.
- Cooking spray ensures less oil absorption and helps in achieving a perfectly crispy crust.
- For a vegetarian version, ensure the mustard and bread contain no animal-derived ingredients.
- Do not use high heat to prevent the Brie from melting too fast without the bread toasting properly.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled up for more servings.
