Ok ok, I know what you are thinking..a grilled brie and pineapple jam sandwich? I am totally not a fan of mixing fruit with my dinner, but this is truly an amazing combination. This summer I spent a few weeks on the Azores Island with my girlfriends family. She is a vegetarian and didn’t have to many exciting meals options, manly because the only food options on the islands are chicken, beef, cheese and bread. Good thing the islands also grow some amazing pineapples. We started eating corn bread, cheese and pineapple jam on day one and took it back to Canada with us.
Ingredients
- Fresh egg bread
- Slices of brie ( a little goes a long way)
- Pineapple jam
- Butter
Method
- Butter the bread on the outsides and spread a thin layer of pineapple jam on the inside
- Place on a skillet on medium high heat and place something heavy on top of the sandwich to weigh it down. I use a cast-iron pan, this will ensure even and direct heat
- Cook on both sides until the cheese starts to melt, total cook time was about 6 minutes

mmmm- This would really work nicely with a Cibatta or Panini bun also.
