makes 1 sandwich
Course: Snacks
Cuisine: American
Keyword: cranberries, grilled cheese, leftovers, thanksgiving

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sturdy bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter at room temperature or at least spreadably soft
  • 2-3 tablespoons cranberry sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded mild melty cheese like white Cheddar Jack, or Mozzarella
  • a few slices of soft cheese like Brie Camembert, or goat chevre
  • grapeseed oil for frying about 2 tablespoons
  • optional extras: fresh arugula sliced jalapeños, sriracha hot sauce

Instructions

  • Spread about ½ tablespoon of butter onto both sides of each slice of bread.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Place both slices of bread in pan and lightly fry. Turn both slices over in the pan.
  • Pile shredded Cheddar (melty) cheese on one slice. Drop spoonfuls of cranberry sauce over the cheese, add any optional extras if you're using, then carefully lay slices of Brie (soft) cheese on top.
  • "Cover" with the other slice of bread, toasted side to the inside. Press down on the sandwich and fry until golden, about 3 minutes.
  • With a flat spatula, lift the sandwich out of the pan and add more oil if needed. Carefully turn the sandwich over in the pan and fry the second side until dark golden brown.
  • Remove sandwich from pan, cut in half, and eat immediately.
