    Cherry Camembert Grilled Cheese Sandwich for Pinterest -2

    This cherry camembert grilled cheese sandwich is so delicious that it will soon become your family favorite. The sweetness of the cherries really complement the tangy taste of the cheese making for a great sandwich.

    I’m so in love with these sandwiches. I wait all year for cherry season to come around so I can make this sandwich.

    You could make it with frozen but it’s not the same. Nothing beats fresh cherries nestled snugly between two cheese-slathered pieces of bread.  But, if cherry season is over, it will do in a pinch.

    I love grilled sandwiches.  They remind me of my grandmother. What about you? Who do they remind you of?

    How to make this grilled sandwich

    Pre-step

    Get a sauté pan. I’m partial to a cast iron skillet.

    Step one

    Gather the ingredients – Either fresh cherries or cherry sauce, camembert cheese and a good artisan bread.

    Step two

    Heat the sauté pan on medium.

    Step three

    Slice four pieces of bread off the loaf of bread and spread hunks of camembert cheese on the insides of all four slices.

    Step four

    Slather butter on the outsides of two slices and place them in the sauté pan.

    Step five

    Dollop some cherry sauce on cheesed up bread in the pan and place the other cheese-covered bread on top.

    Most noteworthy, I don’t butter those second top pieces until the bottom slices of bread toast up.

    Step six

    I help the grilling process even more by using a bacon press. I place it on top of the bread.

    If you don’t have one, just press down on the top slices a few times with a spatula.

    Step seven

    The bottom slices of bread are toasted so it’s time to butter the bread and flip the sandwiches.

    I replace the bacon press on the bread or you can push down a few times with the spatula and wait for that side of the grilled cheese sandwich to toast up as a result.

    I cut the sandwiches and plate them.

      I love a creamy cheese with fruit but never thought of making it into a grilled cheese. I must try this.

      I love grilled cheese dunked in tomato soup! Not this one of course. Plain grilled cheese. I just love the sound of this sandwich! Camembert is so creamy and delicious! And the cherry sauce is just inspired!
