Sweet n’ Spicy Grilled Cheese

Sweet n’ Spicy Grilled Cheese

Sweet, spicy and perfectly melty, this grilled cheese combines creamy brie, roasted butternut squash and Divina Chili Fig Spread for a cozy comfort food classic.

INGREDIENTS

1 butternut squash
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter, softened
2 slices artisanal bread (we love sourdough)
2 tbsp Divina Chili Fig Spread
3 oz brie, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 430°F.
  2. Peel the butternut squash, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice into 1/3-inch thick pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange the squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fork tender.
  4. Spread brie over one slice of bread. Top with 1 to 2 roasted butternut squash slices and spoon the Chili Fig Spread over the squash. Top with the remaining slice of bread.
  5. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwich, cover and cook until the bottom is golden brown.
  6. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, flip the sandwich and continue cooking, covered, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Slice and serve warm.

Pro Tip: Extra roasted butternut squash can be used in soups, salads or purees.
