Maple Strawberry Rhubarb Grilled Cheese

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For each sandwich:

  • 1 1/22 oz. Greek cream cheese (or Neufchatel), warmed slightly to soften it
  • 2 teaspoons real maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • 25 strawberries, sliced
  • Several small chunks of rhubarb, chopped (I used rhubarb that had been frozen, then thawed so it was soft–you might want to pre-roast your rhubarb to soften it if you’re using fresh)
  • 2 thin slices of bread
  • Butter, softened or light butter spread

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, maple syrup and ginger. Spread one slice of bread with this mixture. Top with a layer of strawberries, then tuck in little chunks of rhubarb.
  2. Spread the other piece of bread with a light layer of the cream cheese and put it on top of the fruit. Lightly butter the top side of the bread and flip it over onto a flat cooking pan, then butter the other outside piece of bread. Turn on the burner to medium, cover the sandwich for a few minutes, checking frequently for when it is browned. Flip it over and toast the other side of the bread the same way.
  3. Slice and enjoy while it’s still warm!
