Ingredients
4 small sandwich rolls
1 cup grilled chicken breast, chopped
3 ounces brie, sliced
1/4 cup pear, chopped
2 tablespoons celery, chopped
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons honey mustard
butter for cooking
Directions
Slice each roll in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon or knife, carefully carve out the interior of each half, leaving a sturdy 1/2-inch shell of bread. Set aside the hollowed rolls.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped grilled chicken, light mayonnaise, honey mustard, diced pear, chopped celery, and dried cranberries. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the bottom half of each hollowed roll. Divide the sliced brie among the four sandwiches, placing cheese on top of the chicken mixture. Cover with the top half of each roll and press gently to compact.
Lightly butter the outside of both the top and bottom of each sandwich.
Heat a cast iron griddle or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place one sandwich on the griddle with the buttered side down. Lay a piece of parchment paper on top of the sandwich, then place another heavy cast iron skillet on top to weigh it down and press it into the griddle.
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich, adding a fresh piece of parchment and replacing the weight. Cook the second side for another 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Transfer the finished sandwich to a plate. Repeat with the remaining three sandwiches. Serve warm.
