Brie & Cocoa Cardona with Bittersweet Chocolate & Bananas on Country White Grilled Cheese

About the Recipe

Ingredients

serves 4

½ pound brie, ripe and slightly runny
2 cups shredded Cocoa Cardona
2 ripe bananas sliced into ¼-inch slices
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
8 slightly thick slices of country white bread
4 tablespoons unsalted fresh butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the brie and shredded cocoa cardona cheese until nicely incorporated.
Divide into 4 equal portions and, using parchment paper, flatten out to fit atop a piece of the bread.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering bread with the flattened cheese mix, a scattering of bittersweet chocolate chips, a layer of sliced bananas, and a piece of the country white bread.
Make 4 equal sandwiches.
In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter until foaming and place the sandwiches into griddle.
Allow sandwich to cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, adding the remaining butter before flipping.
Remove the sandwiches once the bread is lightly crisped on both sides. Place onto a sheet pan with a metal rack and bake in the preheated oven for a few minutes, checking often. Sandwiches are finished baking when the cheese is really melted and gooey.
Remove and allow to rest before serving.
