I was so going to save this one for the Crazy Cooking Challenge but I just can't wait to share it with you all.
Strawberries are in full season here. And the Strawberries just put this one over the top.
I found this idea over at Plain Chicken, along with other Grilled sandwich options. Pop on over there when you get a chance, Steph has so many wonderful creations like Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundaes or Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars, this is a gal after my own heart, can't you tell? Don't worry, she's got some healthy stuff on there too.
I had my toughest critics test this one. My son and youngest daughter. Both gave it one "thumbs up." the other hand was busy putting the sandwich back to their mouths. The highest praise in my house.
Grilled Nutella and Cream Cheese
from Plain Chicken
2 slices firm bread
Nutella spread
Softened Cream Cheese
4-6 strawberries, sliced flat
butter or margarine for grilling
I used an Italian bread for these sandwiches. Spread your cream cheese like you would for a bagel on one slice of bread and Nutella on the other.
Butter your heated pan or griddle then place bread, plain side down on melted butter.
place sliced strawberries on one side.
Continue to cook until down side is a perfect golden brown. Complete the sandwich process, you know what I'm talking about, flip the one side on top of the other.
Let sandwich cool a few minutes before serving, let those flavors combine, melt together, fuse with the strawberries.
And I think I could get away with calling this healthy. Cheese, Nutella, fresh fruit. Yup, I'll call this healthy.

Oh my! That looks amazing! I love topping toast with cream cheese and strawberry jam, but this would be 100 times better!
ReplyDeleteLesa, I'm with you, I love cream cheese, on toast or on crackers.

DeleteSo funny -- I JUST bought Nutella a couple of weeks ago for the VERY FIRST TIME! My kids like it -- I can't bring myself to try it -- but I bet they would like this sandwich!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, it is funny, I only feed it to my kids but I have promised myself to try some of the Nutella based recipes out there. We started buying it as a "healthier" alternative to jelly. And I promise, you're kids will love this!

DeleteStopping by from A Little Nosh. I've tried nutella and strawberry but never with cream cheese! I will have to check this out! And can you imagine with brioche for the bread? YUM! Hope you stop by and visit my page!
ReplyDeleteThe cream cheese just brings it all together, makes it more of a warm gooey treat than just strawberries and chocolate.
Delete*sigh* I think I've just died and gone to heaven. *wiping drool off the keyboard asjdglsajgoierjga/nkszvgja*
