The Cran-brie: Cranberry and Brie Grilled Cheese

 I love cranberries and brie together. There’s something ultra festive about cranberries and brie together. I think it might be because the very first time I ever had brie was at a Christmas party.

I’m not entirely sure because it’s kind of a fuzzy memory but I do remember a cheese platter and how someone got upset at my uncle for stealing the “nose” of the cheese and also eating only the insides, leaving the rind. Luckily I managed to get a bite of brie before it was all gone. It definitely felt very fancy and grown up to me, especially since most of my cheese exposure as a kid was Kraft singles.

That first taste of brie started a lifelong obsession for me. Brie is silky smooth creaminess. It’s mild and melty and so, so good. Here it pairs up with sweet-tart cranberry sauce for a perfectly festive red and white sandwich. Personally, I think Santa mike like it more than cookies? At least it’d be a little bit of a different kind of treat!

Hope you guys are having a cozy December full of grilled cheeses :)
