One of the hot food trends in restaurants right now is gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches.  Restaurants have taken to adding new ingredients,  gourmet cheeses and artisan breads as their own twist on this classic American sandwich.  You could order a Seeds and Weeds (spring onion jack, dill havarti, mushroom, avocado and baby spinach with ranch on wheat bread) from Chedd’s, a Caprese Melt (fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, fresh basil and balsamic syrup on roasted whole garlic bread) from The Grilled Cheese Truck or a Mousetrap (Tillamook sharp cheddar, creamy harvarti, monterey jack on artisan sourdough) from The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen just to share a few examples.

So as I contemplated my brown-bag lunch options for today I took inspiration from these upscale grilled cheese sandwiches and decided to create an Brie Grilled Cheese with Apricot and Almonds.  This sandwich is incredibly easy to make and will reheat beautifully in the microwave at work.  While this grilled cheese will not qualify as one of my healthier recipes, it is sooooo tasty!   What would you put in your own gourmet grilled cheese?
