Sour Cherry Brie Grilled Cheese.
This sour cherry brie grilled cheese is absolutely delicious! Full of flavor and texture, it’s a fun way to spice up your grilled cheese and elevate it for everyday. Easy and fantastic!
Weekends are for grilled cheese!!
I have the most simple yet delicious grilled cheese for you today. A sour cherry and brie cheese grilled cheese – oh yes. Savory, tart, sweet, crunchy, creamy… this checks all the boxes!
I could eat it every single day. I live for a grilled cheese.
So do my kids, which makes me sooooo excited. And sort of toasty, melty sandwich with jam… I’m in.
Now, for this grilled cheese, I like to use the american spoon sour cherry preserves. I’ve talked about american spoon since I started this blog – we’ve been buying it for years in northern Michigan.
But the thing is, my parents were obsessed with the sour cherry preserves! That was their #1. Over 20 years ago!
It’s still the best!
As a kid, I couldn’t get behind it because it did taste very tart to me! Little did I know I’d grow up and want to eat everything tart under the sun…
P.S. there are some other sour cherry jam options too! You can’t go wrong.
Anyway, I am convinced that it makes the perfect grilled cheese spread because it IS so tart. I’ve made these with fig jam before which I love, but it’s very sweet. This version has such a lovely balance of sweet and tart against the creamy cheese.
And the best best part about this is that it requires almost nothing else. All you really need is bread… and butter!
I spread both sides of the bread with the jam, then fill the insides with some sliced brie cheese. Butter the outsides of your bread, toast it in a skillet and it’s DONE.
It also cooks rather quickly because brie melts so fast. You don’t have to go low and slow here.
Dinner will be done in 20 minutes flat! Yay.
