Baked Brie Grilled Cheese with Sweet Basil and Boysenberry Jam

Baked Brie Grilled Cheese with Sweet Basil and Boysenberry Jam is a new (slightly sophisticated) spin on the old classic!

I am completely in love with this sandwich! My own personal baked brie that I don’t have to share with anyone! How have I not thought of this before? It is like a grilled cheese/baked brie/peanut butter and jelly all wrapped into one…. but better. The basil is a must and adds the little something extra to really bring this to the next level. Your grown-up grilled cheese. Devour, my friends.

It is really a fairly simple recipe and the end result is misleading as the dish is absolutely mouth-watering.
