HOT BUTTERY BRIE MELTS

Category: Cheese

1 (8 oz) Brie round or wedge
1 (12 oz) French baguette
1/2 cup jalapeno jelly
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Trim and discard rind from Brie. Cut Brie into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and set aside. Cut baguette into 4 equal pieces; halve pieces lengthwise. Heat jelly in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Spread mixture evenly on cut sides of each bread slice.

Layer 4 bread slices, jelly sides up, evenly with Brie; top with remaining bread slices, jelly sides down. Cook sandwiches, in batches, in a hot skillet over medium heat. Press sandwiches with a cast-iron skillet or other heavy weight, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serves 4
