ROASTED CRANBERRY & BRIE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Softened butter works best on a grilled cheese. Just let it sit out and then smear it all over the bread. You only need to butter one side of each slice. This is the side that will be grilled.
• Smear the brie and roasted cranberries onto the side of the bread that is not buttered. And sandwich it with another buttered slice(with butter on the outside). All this butter and cheese is making me hungry!
• In my opinion, a grilled cheese sandwich is best done in a iron skillet. You don't need it to be very hot. Turn the stove to a medium-high heat, and once the skillet is warmed, add the sandwich. Let it sit for two minutes and then flip it. It should come out perfect every time!

Serve warm * Chef Phil likes to serve the brie on a bed of frisèe with a spoonful of the conserve. The bitter frisèe provides a nice contrast of flavors with the creamy and buttery brie. The conserve can be made ahead, cooled and refrigerated up to a week. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
