It’s time for another Casual Friday Menu. This Brie and Fig Grilled Cheese is such a delight. Perfectly crispy grilled artisan bread, melted brie and a touch of sweet fig jam. Yes that is what I said, fig. I know, I know, people are a little weird about figs so you are going to have to trust me on this one! Figs are delicious, and the proof is in the pudding, or in this case the Brie and Fig Grilled Cheese!
