Ingredients 

1 slices of Murphy’s Rustic White Bread

1 TBSP of Butter 

2 tsp of sugar

2 TBSP of Strawberry Preserves 

2 oz of brie cheese, rind removed

1 handful of Fresh Murphy’s Strawberries 

Directions 

Prep the bread:  Spread the butter on one side of each piece of bread. Sprinkle 1 tsp of sugar on the buttered side of the bread. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Place the first slice of bread butter side down in the skillet

Prep the ingredients: Wash and thinly slice enough strawberries to cover your slice of bread. Remove the rind from the brie and cut into thin slices.

Stack the ingredients:  Spread a layer of strawberry jam on one piece of bread. Layer pieces of brie cheese then fresh strawberries the top with the last piece of bread, butter side up.

Grill: Cook each side for 3 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melty.  Remove to a plate and slice down the middle with a serrated knife.

Pro Tips: 

• For another added flavour try adding basil and drizzling with a sweet balsamic reduction
• Try changing the fruit with whatever is in season! This recipe pairs well with apples or even blueberries!
