Savory Gourmet Grilled Cheese: A Decadent Twist to a

Gourmet Comfort Food: Grilled Cheese with a Twist

Today, I’m excited to share a unique twist on a classic comfort food favorite that never fails to make me feel warm and cozy. This gourmet grilled cheese recipe is perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch or a quick weeknight dinner when you want something indulgent but easy to make.

Ingredients:

• artisanal sourdough bread (4 slices)
• triple cream brie cheese (150g)
• fig jam (2 tablespoons)
• prosciutto (6 slices)
• arugula (handful)
• olive oil (1 tablespoon)

Kitchen Tools:

• cast iron skillet
• spatula
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

Start by preheating your cast iron skillet over medium heat. As the skillet heats up, lay out the slices of sourdough bread and spread a generous amount of fig jam on two slices. Next, layer the brie cheese slices on top of the jam, followed by the prosciutto and a handful of fresh arugula. Place the remaining bread slices on top to create two sandwiches.

Drizzle olive oil in the heated skillet and carefully place the sandwiches in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted into a gooey, irresistible filling.

Once the sandwiches are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing diagonally. Serve hot and enjoy the decadent combination of creamy brie, sweet fig jam, salty prosciutto, and peppery arugula in every comforting bite.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 660g, with 2 servings. Each serving weighs around 330g, and the approximate calorie count per serving is 550 calories.

One clever tip to make this grilled cheese even more indulgent is to spread a thin layer of truffle butter on the bread before assembling the sandwich. The rich, earthy flavor of truffle adds a luxurious touch to this already gourmet dish.

I encourage you to give this gourmet grilled cheese with a twist a try and make it your own by experimenting with different cheeses, spreads, or additions. Let me know in the comments how you enjoyed this unique take on a classic comfort food staple!
