Brie and Date Grilled Cheese Crostini

Food is my favorite – but you prob already know that about me. I cook often, I would say 4-6 times a week. In my culture food is what brings everyone together so I am always on the hunt for new recipes that are quick, easy and delicious. I love grilled cheese sandwiches, but since I am no longer a child I decided to make an adult version. Here is my take on it – its delicious and doesn’t take long to make. 

What you need:

• 1 cup of pitted dates
• 1/2 water
• 1 baguette, sliced 
• 1 tbsp if thyme
• 250 grams of brie, sliced thinly 
• 1/2 butter divided 
• salt and pepper

How to make it:

• melt 2 tbsp of butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
• add dates, water and honey  and cook for 10 minutes or when the mixture is soft and thick.
• spread mixture over half the baguette slices and sprinkle with thyme
• top each baguette with a slice of brie, salt and peeper to takes
• place other baguette slices on top to make a sandwich
• microwave remaining butter and brush both sides of bread 
• heat an a non stick frying pan on medium, cook crostinis until bread is golden. (1-2 minutes per side)
• serve and enjoy
