Roasted Grape, Brie & Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich.  Slightly salty bacon meets it’s new sweetheart roasted red grapes.  When they wrap themselves in a blanket of creamy melted brie it’s pure love.

Yes, I admit an emotional attachment to all of my grilled cheese sandwich recipes.

Roasted Red Grapes

My first “roasted grape” recipe was our Baked Sweet Potato with Roasted Grapes & Honey Ricotta.  Oven roasting grapes gives them a sweet wakeup call.  The natural sugars are concentrated leaving an almost jam like flavor.

For our Roasted Grape, Brie & Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich I roasted our grapes right along side of the bacon.  I think that’s where their love affair began.  For those of you who adore salty and sweet together you’ll understand my love for this sandwich.
