Brie and Avocado Grilled Cheese Recipe

Enjoy the perfect blend of creamy brie and buttery avocado with this irresistible Grilled Cheese Recipe – a delicious twist on a classic.

Brie and Avocado Grilled Cheese sandwiches sound rather decadent and are incredibly tasty to prepare with less than a handful of ingredients.  Sliced brie and avocado make up the entire grilled cheese and when melted and served warm on toasted bread are over-the-top incredible.

Avocado has a natural buttery taste, yet has flavors of a fruit – slightly sweet, while creamy brie is soft and earthy.  This combination when griddled in a skillet melds beautifully together and becomes an amazing sandwich.

Slice these Brie and Avocado Grilled Cheese while they are warm, so the cheese oozes gently from the sides.  I like to serve them for a casual meal or cut them in square for a quick and easy appetizer with cocktails.
