Brie, Pancetta and Berry Grilled Cheese
Add some glitz to an old favorite for a jazzed up week night dinner, OR slice these babies up into bite sized pieces for fancy schmancy appetizer for cocktail hour! This sandwich pairs great with my roasted beet and arugula salad for the whole she-bang.Ingredients (for 6 sandwiches):
- 1 loaf crusty bread, sliced (choose 12 slices)
- 6-8 slices of pancetta
- brie cheese at room temperature
- 1 small jar of raspberry fruit spread
- 1 package of fresh chives
- 1 Tbs butter (cut from stick, keep in wrapper)
Method:1. Spread cheese on both halves of the bread for each sandwich. Spread a dollop of the fruit spread atop the cheese one one side of each sandwich. Pile on a slice of pancetta and 3-4 chives. Top with 2nd piece of bread.2. Spread a small amount of butter on top of each side of the sandwiches (You can actually just grab the stick of butter, cut 1 Tbs off while still in the wrapper, and rub the butter directly on the bread).3. Heat a grill pan to medium high, and grill each side of the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
