Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sturdy bread (sourdough, country loaf, or whole grain)
- 2–3 tablespoons cranberry sauce or chutney
- 3–4 oz brie, rind removed and sliced thinly
- 3–4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened (or olive oil spread)
- Optional: a handful of baby spinach or arugula
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Butter one side of each bread slice (or brush with olive oil).
- On the unbuttered side, spread cranberry sauce on two slices. Layer brie and mozzarella on top. Add spinach if using. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
- Place sandwiches in the skillet. Cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese melts. Lower heat if bread browns too fast before cheese melts.
- Let sandwiches rest 1 minute, then slice and serve.
Notes
For extra texture, consider adding thin apple or pear slices, or toasted walnuts.
