Ingredients

• 60g Double Cream Canadian Brie, cut into six 1/4
• 15g caramelized onions
• 1 tbsp apricot chutney
• 2 slices walnut raisin bread
• 1 tsp salted butter

Instructions

• Bring the sliced Brie to room temperature.
• Place 3 slices of the Brie on each bread slice; spread the apricot chutney on top of the cheese, then add the caramelized onions evenly between both slices.
• Gently press together, and butter both sides of the Grilled Cheese.
• Heat a small skillet or sandwich press to medium heat. Grill the sandwich, turning once for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Insure you don’t burn the bread, and adjust the heat down if necessary.
• Remove from the skillet or grill and let rest for 1 minute. (We know it will be hard).
• Cut the Grilled Cheese in half diagonally and serve with kettle chips and new dills.

Caramelized Onions:

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2-3 large, red onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
• 3 tbsp white sugar
• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
Mix sliced onions together with sugar and vinegar. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onion mixture; cook for 10-12 minutes or until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. All liquid should have evaporated and onions may start to turn golden. Stir in salt and pepper.
