How to make it
Making a brie grilled cheese is super easy!
First, smear the fig jam onto one slice of bread.
Then top with the strips of brie - making sure that they're evenly distributed across the bread.
Now add the other piece of bread on top to close the sandwich up.
Butter the outside of the bread and hit each side with a pinch of rosemary.
Get a fry pan or cast iron hot over medium heat and add the sandwich.
Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Let rest for one minute before serving.
