Not the traditional- This is a scrumptious breakfast grilled cheese. It's wonderful for a special occasion like Valentines day! Enjoy- It was so much fun to create this one!!!- Ingredients:
3 slices cinnamon-swirl bread |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons coconut milk |
1 tablespoon grand marnier |
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese |
1 tablespoon white chocolate (finely chopped) |
1 teaspoon powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons neufchatel cheese |
1 tablespoon dried apricot (chopped) |
1 teaspoon orange marmalade |
1 teaspoon honey |
1 pinch cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Butter outsides of 2 of the pieces of cinnamon bread and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut milk and grand marnier. Brush BOTH SIDES of 1 slice of bread (The one with no butter) with this mixture. Let soak while preparing the cheeses.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped white chocolate with the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar- set aside.
4. In another bowl mix the Neufchatel, honey, chopped dried apricots, marmalade and pinch of cinnamon.
5. Spread the first mixture (white chocolate/mascarpone)onto inside of 1 of the dry pieces of cinnamon bread and sandwich it together with the soaked piece.
6. Take the remaining dry piece of bread and spread the second mixture (neufchatel/apricot mixture)onto the inside- sandwiching it to the other side of the soaked piece. each cheese mixture will be sandwiching either side of the soaked piece.
7. Place sandwich into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is starting to melt and bread is browning. flip and press firmly- cook an additional 3 min or until chocolate has melted and undersides of bread are browned. Flip one more time and press firm- let sit 30 sec. Remove from heat and let sit 2 minutes, slice diagonally and garnish with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
