Fantastic Food Friday

Early morning boot camp in the crisp pre-dawn air has me dreaming of fall... and comfort food.  This sandwich is on my list for post Thanksgiving turkey leftovers.  


Brie, Pear, and Mustard Grilled Cheese

2 slices whole-grain bread
1-2 tsp whole-grain mustard 
1 oz Brie, sliced
1/4 pear, cored and sliced
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
*leftover turkey - optional, but highly recommended 

1.  Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.  Spread both slices of bread with mustard and top one slice with Brie and pear.  Top with remaining slice and press together gently.  Generously brush both sides of sandwich with olive oil.

2.  Place sandwich in skillet and cover with a piece of foil.  Place a half-filled teakettle or a heavy skillet on top to weigh it down and cook until bread is golden and cheese begins to melt -- 1 to 2 minutes per side.  Serve warm.
