Top with a few more slices of cheese, then butter one side of the other bread slices, and place on top of the cheese.

Serve immediately! … Perfect recipe for an Island grillstone!! ♡♡ I would love one!!

Here is how I grilled it:

Grilled Strawberry, Chocolate and Brie Sandwich

Pre-heat your Island Grillstone for 20 minutes. Here I am using the round grillstone with charcoal. Stay away from additional smoke as this is a very light flavored recipe. Grill temperature was at 375 degrees after warm-up.

I sliced the strawberries into fourths to get flat pieces instead of quarters. Drizzle with olive oil and salt or perhaps sugar if you really have a sweet tooth. Grill for about 5 minutes if you sliced your strawberries the way I did, longer if you slice them into quarters.

If I was to change anything in this recipe it would have been the step above. My taste buds would have preferred fresh uncooked strawberries on the sandwich. I think the strawberry flavor would have come through better.

Cut some nice thick slices of french bread, I used Dutch Crust for the texture. Spread butter on one side and place on the Island Grillstone to grill. I waited for about 5 minutes before I started to add the remaining ingredients.

Add a layer of brie and chocolate to the uncooked side of the french bread. At this point I could hear the gardeners next door making comments about how good the BBQ from somewhere was smelling.

Add grilled strawberries and more slices of cheese to your grilled french bread sandwich.

Add grilled french bread to complete sandwich. Notice the golden brown color of the grilled french bread? Everything will be melting at this point so there is no need to flip the sandwich. I pulled mine as soon as I placed the other piece of french bread on top.
