I guess.
I mean, I really have no idea.
I eat chocolate and cheese together all the time (HOW WEIRD AM I?), but I just really wanted to say those words.
Ugh.
I
can’t
even.
This is just the beginning of my roasted strawberry obsession. Believe it. Last week I made pancakes with them and I even made something savory and I am fully planning on blasting you in the face with my full-blown fascination until the point of complete annoyance.
I’m sorry.
But not really. At all.
Do you enjoy my use of super crusty (in a good way, not in a, uh… crusty way) multigrain bread? With some organic strawberries and cheese, dark chocolate (not nearly as delicious as milk, but whatever) and a sort-of healthy butter, this is practically a health food. Tons of antioxidants. Even some fiber. Obvious protein.
I think someone’s Friday just got better…
Roasted Strawberry, Brie + Chocolate Grilled Cheese
makes 2 sandwiches
6 strawberries, quartered
1/2 teaspoon canola oil
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter
4 thick-cut slices of multigrain bread
2-3 ounces of brie cheese, sliced
1-2 ounces high-quality chocolate
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss strawberries with oil and salt, then spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
Heat a large skillet or grilled over medium-low heat. Butter the sides of two slices of bread, place them on the skillet buttered-side down, then layer on a few slices of cheese, chocolate and strawberries. Top with a few more slices of cheese, then butter one side of the other bread slices, and place on top of the cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has started to melt, then gently flip the sandwich and cook until golden. Serve immediately!
And it’s not only mine.

Cheese and chocolate are my two favorite foods and I’ve only been sad that i can’t enjoy both at the same time – you are now officially my hero.

That looks amaaaazing! We’ve done apple, cranberry, cinnamon and brie/camembert before and thought that was weird enough but oooh … ;)

I have two bites left of my sandwich. AMAZING! This was so good. I used white cheddar as I didn’t have any brie, so I only imagine how much more amazing it will taste the next time I make it with brie. Thanks for the recipe!

Jessica – this looks simply amazing!! i’ve had a brie/maple walnut/pear grilled cheese before which was to.die.for….. but this combo trumps that! adding chocolate to grilled cheese? uh-mazing!

Oh my god. I just had a brie and strawberry panini at a fancy pants golf tournament I went to and this looks even better. Pastry-like melting cheese and fruit PLUS CHOCOLATE?! Yum. Brilliant.

You didn’t! I want to eat this. I have everything but the brie… I’m on it!

Ohhhkay. I want that, asap. The picture with the steam rising off the strawberries is just too much.

So I just nearly died. I am so going to do this, but with goats cheese instead of brie. Goats cheese with chocolate is just magic, and the strawberries will make it true soul food!

Mind Blown.

Brilliant, delicious…but i made too much and am about to collapse into a food coma

I finally tried this! I had double cream brie from Trader Joe’s, fresh whole wheat bread from Eataly in NYC, and tons of strawberries, so I decided it was time… I didn’t roast the strawberries because it’s about 97 degrees in my house, and the only chocolate I had was the Hershey’s dark that we use for s’mores, but it was still SO good. OMG. Delicious. I already want another one.

I actually just got back from Key West where they have a dessert restaurant called “Better Than Sex” (http://betterthansexkeywest.com/) and they have the most delicious chocolate-brie grilled cheese. Instead of putting the strawberries on it, they make a soup with them and serve them on the side. It was sensational. I look forward to giving your version a try. I hadn’t considered it on a grain bread. That sounds delicious.
