Huckleberry Brie Grilled Cheese

Creamy Brie, sweet and tangy Hungry Bear Huckleberry Jam, and crisp golden bread come together in this elevated grilled cheese. Add fresh arugula or thinly sliced apple or pear for an extra layer of flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 slices sturdy bread, such as sourdough or artisan white bread
• 4–6 ounces Brie cheese, sliced
• 3–4 tablespoons Hungry Bear Huckleberry Jam
• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• Small handful of arugula, optional
• Thinly sliced apple or pear, optional

Instructions

1. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Place two slices of bread butter-side down. Spread the unbuttered sides with Huckleberry Jam.
3. Layer the sliced Brie over the jam. Add arugula or thinly sliced apple or pear, if using.
4. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
5. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwiches for about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the Brie is soft and melted.
6. Let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute before slicing. Serve warm with extra Huckleberry Jam on the side, if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with tomato soup, a lightly dressed arugula salad, fresh fruit, or a glass of red wine.
