Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices sourdough bread about 1/2 inch thick
  • 4 tbsp butter softened
  • 8 oz Brie thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cooked turkey sliced
  • 0.5 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch skillet

Method
 

  1. Spread butter evenly over one side of each bread slice.
  2. Place 4 bread slices buttered side down.
  3. Divide half the Brie among the bread slices.
  4. Top each with 2 ounces turkey and 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce.
  5. Divide the remaining Brie over the cranberry sauce, then close with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
  6. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat.
  7. Cook 2 sandwiches at a time, covered, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
  8. Rest the sandwiches for 2 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

For the best texture, cook the sandwiches covered over medium-low heat so the Brie melts before the sourdough gets too dark. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free sourdough bread.
