This weekend I’m headed to, like, four or five holiday parties, which is crazy amazing. Thank you, friends, for inviting me! I’m usually super low-key in the month of December. It’s often a time for me to chill with Amelia with fluffy socks in bed but I have to say, I’m super excited!
The next week is a whirlwind while I tie some loose-end-of-year ends, get my holiday shopping done and prep for some traveling.
During this holiday season, I like super simple little meals and snacks. This is as simple as can be: three main ingredients, complementing flavors and it comes together very quickly!
For this post, I teamed up with Ozery Bakery. If you’re unfamiliar with their bread, then you’re in for a delicious surprise. I keep their whole wheat buns in the freezer, and whenever I need one, whether it be for a grilled cheese like this or some bread in the morning for avocado toast, I just remove one from the freezer and warm it up—super easy.
The cranberry sauce is flavorful and classic. And the cheese is a combination of a bit of mozzarella and camembert. If you like, you can use brie cheese.
These buns crisp up so well in a bit of butter. One thing I think is super important in this very simple grilled cheese is the mustard.
For the longest time, I wasn’t a mustard fan but eventually I warmed up to it because I love the brininess. And I love how it strangely works with the cranberry.
If you’re looking for a super chill vibes snack, then this is it!
Ingredients
- 2 Ozery Bakery One Bun Multi-Grain Buns halved
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon or yellow mustard
- 4 ounces camembert or brie cheese
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 batch of cranberry sauceÂ
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butterÂ
Instructions
- Halve the Ozery Bakery buns and smear one side with mustard. To the other half, add the slices of camembert or brie cheese, along with the mozzarella and a spoonful of cranberry. Place the other half of bread on top.Â
- In a medium skillet, set over medium heat, add the butter. When melted, add the grilled cheeses and cover with a lid. Cook on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is nice and melty. Slice and serve.

Woo! I make a cranberry sauce grilled cheeses with cheddar and sriracha every year in the weeks after Thanksgiving… bet it would be even better with Camembert though. Also, I love the mustard and cranberry combination- those are some of my favorite things but I’ve never thought to put them in the same place!
Awesome. This Melty Camembert and Cranberry grilled cheese looks very yummy and mouth-watering. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Yummy! I love their bread, too….
