Brunch Deliciousness

O.M.F.G.

I am indebted to the person who created this recipe for life. 

I came across this on Pinterest like 2 months ago and it's all I've been able to think about since then. 

I decided to make it for my friend Holley and I for brunch Sunday morning after I realized I'd have left over brie cheese from that appetizer I had the day before. 

Roasted Strawberries, Chocolate, and Grilled Brie Cheese

Ingredients: Makes 2 sandwiches

- 4 slices of whatever bread you prefer. [I used 12 grain. You should probably stay away from sourdough, I can't imagine that would taste very good.]

- brie cheese. [I have no idea how much I used, the original recipe calls for 2-3 ounces]

-8 strawberries, quartered.

-1/2 tsp of canola oil. [Confession: I have no idea how much I used, I just filled the cap of the oil when that part of the recipe called for it.]

-1 pinch of salt.

-2 tbsp of butter.

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Wash and quarter the strawberries and throw them in a bowl. Mix them with the canola oil and pinch of salt. Spread them across a banking sheet and place in the oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.  

Marty Messup: I wanted to see what the strawberries looked like mid-roast so I opened the oven and within seconds the fire alarm went off. Crap. It normally wouldn't have been a big deal except Holley has 2 boston terriers and the alarm pretty much scarred them for life. I seriously got death stared from them. Oops. Sorry Addie & Mabel!

Anyways, next step...once they're done roasting [idk if roasting is the right word, but it is what it is...] pull the sheet out of the oven and let them cool. 

In the mean time, butter one side of each slice of bread and place two on the baking sheet, butter side down. Stack the brie cheese, chocolate, and strawberries for as many layers as you'd like and then place the other two buttered bread slices on top.

So I didn't do this next part like the recipe or making a traditional grilled cheese calls, instead of flipping it over on a skillet, I just threw the sandwiched onto the baking sheet and slid that back in the oven and let it bake [? i guess...] at 250 degrees for like 15 minutes until the cheese melted.

Even though I already posted a picture of the finished product, it doesn't hurt to look at it again because it was oh. so. delicious. It was perfectly paired with a mimosa and some leftover [un-roasted] strawberries.
