Brie And Cranberry Toastie Sandwich Recipes

BRIE AND CRANBERRY TOASTIE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the bread under a grill and toast for 3 minutes on a high heat. Remove and place the cheese on top of one of the slices, returning back to the grill until melted. Then, add the walnuts and cranberry jam, before sandwiching together and tucking in! I sometimes return mine back to the microwave for a further 1/2 minute on high heat, so it is extra hot.
• Alternatively, you could assemble the sandwich minus the cranberry sauce and place in a toaster bag and use the toaster. Then add the cranberry jam when serving.

BRIE & BACON TOASTIES

Steps:

• Set the grill on high and put a sheet of foil under the grill rack to catch any cooking juices and save on washing up later. Lay the bacon on the rack and grill for 2 minutes. While it is grilling, slice the cheese (aim to get about 8 long slices) and core and slice the pear.
• Put the slices of bread under the grill as well for just under a minute until the bread is evenly toasted on one side only. Keep an eye on it - a whole minute is just that little bit too long and the bread may start to char.
• Flick the bread over and cover the untoasted sides first with a layer of pear slices, then the grilled bacon and then the rest of the pear slices. Don't worry if it looks a little rough and ready - it all adds to the effect. Drape the brie on top and scatter over the pecans, roughly breaking them with your fingers as you go.
• Grill for another minute or so, until the cheese is melted and oozy. Remove and eat straight away with the rocket or watercress on the side.

STILTON & CRANBERRY TOASTIE

Steps:

• Butter both slices of the bloomer. Make into a sandwich with the stilton, spring onion and cranberry jelly, keeping the butter on the outside of the bread. Fry in a non-stick griddle or frying pan for 3-4 mins on each side. Keep the heat gentle so the cheese melts slowly as the bread becomes golden and crunchy. Serve warm.
