The Best Brie Grilled Cheese

While scavenging through my refrigerator and pantry for a late night snack, I tried to see if I could squeeze out a sandwich of some kind and came across cheese and bread. Then thought, “Wow, when was the last time I had a grilled cheese sandwich? It has to have been some years.” As I made the my gourmet grilled cheese sandwich, I thought of two things- how my grandmother would be so happy if she could see me and how she was the last person to give me a grilled cheese. They were delicious and sometimes she would add different cheeses, tomatoes, and vegetables.  I decided to share this fancy grilled cheese recipe inspired by my grandma- a delicious Brie Grilled Cheese.

Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Brie and Tomato

Brie Cheese Sandwich Ingredients:

  • 2 slices Whole-grain bread
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 garlic clove, pressed
  • Dijon mustard
  • Brie cheese, sliced about 1/4 of an inch thick
  • 1/2 cup baby arugula or spinach greens
  • Thick slices of ripe tomato

Makes 1 gourmet grilled cheese sandwich.

Some fun variations:

A Brie Grilled Cheese sandwich is delicious with tomato slices but other fun variations to try are brie apple grilled cheese or brie pear grilled cheese. Make those the same way and just substitute the tomato slices with either apple or pear slices.

How To Make Grilled Brie Sandwich

1. Warm your skillet, griddle pan, or grill.

2. Brush olive oil onto one side of each bread slice and evenly sprinkle pressed garlic.

3.  Spread Dijon mustard on the side of the bread without the olive oil (so that the oiled side can go straight down onto the pan).

3. To your liking, top each bread slice with brie cheese, greens, and tomato slices.

It is easy to customize your gourmet grilled cheese sandwich! Here, I used Swiss cheese, tomato and spinach.

4. Place slices together and place sandwich on hot pan for about 2 minutes on each side or until cheese melts.

5.  Remove from heat and slice in half. 

Serve with some chips or fresh fruit.

I hope you enjoy this grilled brie and tomato sandwich as much as I did when my grandmother made it for me.  Do you have a special gourmet grilled cheese sandwich? What is it? Who was the first person to make it for you?

    This looks soooo yummy! You had me with the brie and tomato but adding the spinach and dijon is sheer genius!
