//strawberry, dark chocolate + brie grilled cheese//



Now that I've caught your attention with the title of this post I want to share this unbelievable sensory explosion of a sandwich with you!

I found the recipe here and knew at first glance that this was my kind of sandwich~ 3 of my most favorite ingredients melted between two slices of bread ^.^

The ingredients
~ 2 slices of bread (I used a fig + hazelnut loaf)
~ sliced brie
~ good quality dark chocolate
~ 4 quartered strawberries
~ sea salt
~ butter
~ olive oil


~ First, toss your strawberries with olive oil and sea salt in an oven dish and roast at 375 for 10 minutes.


~ Butter your sliced bread on both sides and coat one slice with brie and dark chocolate pieces.


~ Lay your slice of bread on a hot griddle and top with roasted strawberries

~ Place the second slice of bread on top to make your sandwich and grill for approximately two minutes on each side or until bread is golden and the filling has melted.



~ Take a minute to worship at the alter of this creamy, cheesy, strawberry-scented doorstop oozing melted chocolate goodness before taking your first bite. 
This is essential, because the sandwich will be devoured within the next ten seconds.

The best thing about this recipe is even though it's naughty it's still very very nice.
Dark chocolate (70% or higher) is packed with antioxidants and taken in moderation very good for you.
The most fattening part of this sandwich is the brie~ so this will definitely have to a naughty indulgence....but SO worth every bite!

Enjoy!
