Here's how you can create this sweet and savory brunch treat at home:

Ingredients

For the Strawberry Rhubarb Compote:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1 cup rhubarb, chopped
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Grilled Cheese:

• 8 slices of bread (sourdough or your favorite type)
• 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced
• Butter for grilling

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberry Rhubarb Compote:

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Assemble the Grilled Cheese:

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices buttered side down on a cutting board.

• Spread a generous amount of the strawberry rhubarb compote on 4 of the slices.
• Top the compote with slices of Brie cheese.
• Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, buttered side up, to form sandwiches.

3. Grill the Sandwiches:

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the Brie cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Serve:

Slice the grilled cheese sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy with extra strawberry rhubarb compote on the side if desired.
