Ingredients
    Grilled Cheese
  • 4 slices rustic bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)
  • 8 slices Brie
  • 3 tbsp grass fed butter
    • Blackberry Balsamic Sauce
  • 1/2 cup blackberries (fresh)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp rosemary (dried)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
    • Garnish
  • Fresh basil
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Gently mash the berries with a spoon as the mixture cooks and simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened and syrupy.
  2. 2
    Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the chia seeds, and let the sauce rest for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken while you prepare the bread.
  3. 3
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  4. 4
    Place two slices of bread in the skillet, butter side down. Layer four slices of Brie onto one slice of bread and spoon half of the blackberry balsamic sauce over the Brie. Top with the second slice of bread, butter side facing up.
  5. 5
    Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, gently pressing with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the Brie is fully melted.
  6. 6
    Remove from the skillet, garnish with fresh basil, and repeat the process with the remaining bread, Brie, butter, and sauce.
  7. 7
    Slice and serve immediately while warm and melty.
