The Stamford Sweethearts - Goat Brie, Blueberries, Apricots, Basil and Honey Grilled Cheese

Before I dive in, let me just begin by saying how last weekend might have just been the most magical time of my life. My friends, Scott and Lauren were having their "love celebration" which was sort of like a wedding but only about 500 times better. 120 of us crazy kids (which included a ton of burners, of course) were camped out at the most eccentric barn that has ever existed in the entirety of the world. I'm serious. There were crystals hanging from all the trees, insane psychedelic paintings covering the walls, an abandoned corn silo that was perfect for

Ingredients:

Next, add a basil leaf and if you can, make it so it's like a little cup. If not, no biggie, the cheese will hold everything together when it gets all melty and good.

Now add the fruit! Before I put them in here, I tossed 'em with a little bit of honey to bring out the sweetness just a little more. It probably didn't need it but I'm obsessed with tupelo honey so if there's ever an opportunity to use it, i will. ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

Then add another layer of goat brie and the other piece of bread and take a look at that finished product. So pretty, right?!

Here's the most important part - because goats brie melts super quickly, just like with any other type of brie, you'll want to turn your burner to medium high. After you butter both sides of the bread, you can add the sandwich and cook for a few minutes - watching carefully as it becomes crispy.

But be warned - you'll def want to keep your eyes on it because you don't want all the cheese to melt out and then have nothing left in the sandwich. That would be devastating. I might cry.

After it's all crispy and golden and delicious and you can't wait to grab it up and put it in your mouth as fast as humanly possible, resist those urgest
and let it sit for a sec to tighten up.

Now that it's finished and I can't stop day dreaming about the incredible time that L+S gave us, I just want to say cheers to everyone and everything and all that good stuff. When you're with the right person, the world can be a magical place and that's really effing exciting. So Lauren and Scott, thank you for being amazing, loving, adorable, and inspirational. I hope you guys know how sweet it was for all of us to see. Oh, and I'm not crying I just got something in my eye,
