This Brie Grilled Cheese has thin slices of chicken breast, gooey brie, and melty mozzarella for a quick and delicious crispy sandwich.

American cheese and cheddar may be the classic cheeses to use for grilled cheese, but there are so many more incredible cheeses to use that have different textures and flavors. And today it’s all about brie!

I don’t see brie used very often for grilled cheese, but I’m not sure why not.

Admittedly, it’s a little messy, as you can see from the pictures…but that’s part of what makes it so glorious. It’s gooey and has a fantastic flavor.

Though brie is the star flavor of the sandwich, I also add some sliced mozzarella to give it that classic stretchy cheese that a grilled cheese should have.

Since mozzarella is pretty mild, it doesn’t overpower the flavor of the brie at all.

How to Make Brie Grilled Cheese:

Start by spreading sliced sandwich bread with softened butter. I recommend a salted butter, and sometimes I do a flavored one with garlic and herbs for extra flavor:

Lay the buttered bread down in a skillet and add sliced brie, sliced mozzarella, and chicken breast slices:

I keep crockpot chicken breast on hand to quickly add protein for recipes like this.

Grill the bread for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the cheese is melty and gooey, and the bread is golden brown. Then you can sandwich the two slices together:

Now it’s ready to be sliced in half, so you can oooooh and ahhhhhh at the gooey cheese of your ultimate grilled cheese sandwich:

This Italian Club Sandwich, Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich, and Chicken Cordon Bleu Panini are some of my other favorite sandwiches on the blog, for a quick lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
