Grilled Brie & Cranberry Sandwich

Like any good student, when it's time to write a paper or do some serious studying, I am able to come up with a handful other things I simply must do. My favorite distraction is, of course, cooking. After all, you do have to eat! A recipe that I've been wanting to try usually pops into my mind and I just have to have it; no focusing can be done on school work until I've had sustenance to get me through.

It's finals week. You can imagine my list of recipes I've just got to make!

Today's (first) distraction was inspired by a recipe for a brie grilled cheese sandwich with cranberry sauce I saw on Pinterest (another great distraction). And wouldn't you know it, I have some Cranberry Sauce in my refrigerator right now. Simple and delicious combo. But I warn you, it's also a little bit addictive...


Grilled Brie and Cranberry Sandwich
Brie (enough slices to cover the bread)
Cranberry Sauce (enough to spread a thin layer over cheese)
Bread (I used whole wheat pita pockets, sides separated
Butter

1. Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each slice of bread.

2. Place a layer of Brie on half of sandwhich. Top with a thin layer of cranberry sauce.

3. In a skilled over low heat, place the sandwhich, in a frying pan, buttered side down. Cook until golden brown, then flip.

4. When both sides are golden brown and cheese is melted though, it's done!

One whole pita pocket is likely enough for 2 people; they are kinda big - and messy.

Enjoy!
