This Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a unique picnic sandwich that makes the perfect dish full of creamy brie cheese, crunchy bread, and a hint of sweetness.
Ingredients – 8 slices bread – 8 oz brie – ¼ pound strawberries – 8 oz (8 slices) turkey – A few fresh basil leaves – 4 tbsp pepper jelly – 2 tbsp butter, melted – whole or halved strawberries for garnish
Before assembling the sandwiches, cut the brie into ½ inch thick slices and cut the fresh basil leaves into thin slices. Also slice the strawberries. When you have all these ingredients ready, you can make the sandwich. On a cutting board lay one slice of bread and top with 2 slices of smoked turkey.
Now add some fresh basil leaves, strawberries and slices of brie. Spread 1 tbsp of pepper jelly on one side of the second bread slice and place face down on top of brie.
Put the sandwich in a preheated panini press and brush with melted butter. You can also add some butter on the outside of the both bread slices before you start creating the sandwich. Close your panini press and cook the sandwich until the bread gets golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted. Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the sandwiches. Garnish with fresh strawberries and basil.
