• Dried Cranberries
• Nut Free

As the kids head back to school, sometimes we wish they were grown-up enough to make their own lunches! In the meantime, here’s a super easy croque-monsieur recipe that your kids will surely enjoy.

Steps

1. Slice the brie.

2. Place a cast iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add pancetta slices and cook for a few minutes, turning pancetta over once to grill evenly on both sides. Set aside on a plate topped with paper towels.

3. Butter one side of two bread slices, and place one of them, butter-side down, in the pan.

4. Place half of all remaining sandwich ingredients on top of the bread. Cover with the second slice, butter-side up. Cook on both sides, turning over once until cheese is melted. Repeat the process to prepare the second sandwich.
