  • VanessaHi, Carrie,

    I bought the soup cookbook and am loving it. It’s the easiest way to start the day off right with lots of veggies without getting chilled. The Carrot & Celery Seed soup is one of my favorites.

    Last night I made the Ginger Carrot (etc) soup. I am not sure we have ground ginger, so I substituted fresh ginger, which I already had handy. The soup tasted a bit strange and I’m not sure whether to blame the vegetable broth concentrate I used (the instructions are in Chinese, so I had to guess at the proportions) or the fresh ginger. Does it really make a big difference to use ground ginger instead of fresh?

    Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • JudyBoth forms are pretty potent. I would go easy on either one but ginger is also very healthy. It’s good for digestion and nausea. Ginger beer is also very tasty!ReplyCancel

  • Tamara ElliottI just finished listening to the podcast on sweeteners. Could you guys give your feedback on monkfruit? I love it and am looking for thoughts on this relatively new to me sweetener.

    Thanks,

  • steve bollingerCarrie, Why dont you break down the macros in your smarter ice cream ebook?ReplyCancel

  • MeranHi! Just bought your keto ice cream book. Looks good except for all the guar gum. I have a terrible reaction to guar. Can I substitute a different gum for it?ReplyCancel

  • CristiI just bought the Keto crockpot book and I am so so excited! I think this will be a life changer for me and my family. Thank you!ReplyCancel

  • Pualani WagnerJust ordered your book can’t wait…ReplyCancel

  • PattiI am thinking of buying the soup book, but don’t eat beef or sweeteners. Are there enough recipes that don’t include these ingredients left?ReplyCancel

    • carrieHI Patti – yes! There are no sweeteners in the Soup Book and plenty of non-beef recipes! You’ll find loads of useful recipes. Hope that helps!ReplyCancel

  • willowhi carrie

    made the sour cream blueberry scones last night and it was slightly disastrous. i have no kitchen scale, so didn’t know how to weigh out the almond flour in grams or ounces, so i used volume measurements and used about 2 cups. came out with a crazily wet dough, so ended up adding another 1 or 1-1/2 cups (didn’t measure, just kept pouring until it wasn’t wet pudding anymore). i also subbed vegan butter and also a problem?

    they taste all right, but came out flat and very spongey. like spongey, lumpy pancakes. any chance you can give the almond flour measurement in cups (not grams or ounces) and also advise on what to do if subbing vegan butter and vegan sour cream?

    i know you hate subbing stuff, i am sorry! and you are awesome!ReplyCancel

    • carrieOh dear, Willow. I am so sad to hear about your disaster. Measurements are super-important when baking. Baking is science and if you are not exact you will get unfortunate results like you experienced. There is no cup equivalent for weights of dry ingredients, and if you use cups for measuring dry ingredients you will always struggle to get good results because volume measures are highly inaccurate.

      Also, I am afraid I have never used vegan butter or sour cream, so can’t comment on that. Sorry I can’t be more helpful on this one :-( Love to you!ReplyCancel

      • willowthank you for the empathy, i guess i need to buy a kitchen scale to avoid future disasters. will do! love back at you! :)ReplyCancel

  • Tracy PfeifferHi Carrie, have you tested your ice creams with different sweeteners? I can’t have xylitol in my house because I did almost kill my dog and the vet bill was $1800. He seeks it out, boohoo. Let me know if you have. Thank you so much! TracyReplyCancel

    • carrieI am working on more subs now. None I have tried so far work.ReplyCancel

My question, if trying to stay in Ketosis, watching calories and carbs, how much ice cream can I eat? Should I limit to weekly, or can I eat daily? (I froze in individual containers, about 6oz each.)

  • TraciI bought the set and have just been trying the ice cream recipes. These are the best Keto ice creams I’ve tasted. The guar gum really is the secret ingredient for ice cream that doesn’t turn rock hard in the freezer.  Thank you for your great recipes! You must put many hours into their development.  I might note too that I didn’t have enough avocados for the avocado ice cream (just 2 small one’s), so I added 2 scoops of vegetable smoothie powder and it tastes great.ReplyCancel

  • LynnYours was my first ever subscription to a youtube channel.  Love it!  Also purchased your Ice Cream recipe book, but it may be an earlier version as I don’t think it has sassy goat ice cream.  

    For some reason I can’t comment there, and can’t find your tips and tricks channel to ask that you do a video on using fresh herbs and spices.  I have a problem with washing them, drying them and then chopping them.  They go bad before I ever get a chance to use them.  So, I tend to use dried.  Plus it would be good to understand the flavours that the various herbs and spices add.  Just a suggestion.  Even if you just do how to wash, store and chop would be a big help.I’ve done keto off and on for a couple of years, but don’t consider myself an expert.  I do love your recipes and especially enjoying the videos too that give instructions.  I’m one of those people that eat way too many keto treats, and I need to work on that.  I’ve never done much cooking, so I learn something frome very one of your videos.  I’ve been binging on your youtube videos the past couple of days.  Love when you do them with Dr. Berry.  Also, I think you have a lot of Canadian followers, and many of the products and stores are not available here.  Fox Hill Buns, not.  And I don’t think there is a Trader Joes in the country.  Oh, and I did send a request to join your facebook page. Once I get in there I’m sure I will learn a lot more.Thanks Carrie.  My most favourite thing I’ve made is the peanut butter ice cream. ReplyCancel

  • JerrieHello,Carrie. I heard you doing an interview with 2Krazyketos and want to try making your ice cream recipe soon.ReplyCancel

  • LisaAwesome cook books. Easy to follow. ReplyCancel

  • AllisonIce cream! I bought the Keto ice cream scoop and made the pistachio rose. It’s better than any of the keto ice creams out there. So creamy. Tastes just like the real thing. I used almond milk for the thin coconut milk and greek yoghurt for the creme fraiche. Can’t wait to try more.ReplyCancel

    • carrieAllison – I am so glad you loved it! One of my favorites from the cookbook!ReplyCancel

  • IvaThis design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!)
    Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to
    say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!ReplyCancel

  • Norman NeuCarrie

    I have enjoyed your presentations with Jonathan and your cook books.  I have had problems with your ice cream recipes.  They turn out rock hard.  Any suggestions?NormReplyCancel

  • AndreaI bought all your cookbooks but find the teachable app incredibly confusing. Is it possible to download them to iBooks?ReplyCancel

    • carrieYes! All the cookbooks have download links and you can download the pdfs to any device.

    Compré el libro the keto Ice cream scoop, está padrísimo pero me gustaria que me ayudes con la cantidad de carbohidratos, grasa, proteina y calorias por porcion. De antemano. graciasReplyCancel

  • RuthSince getting your ice cream book about three years ago I have tried 16 of your recipes and invented 2 variations of my own. I love you! So, so grateful. I do have a question though. Why do you omit eggs from most of your recipes? I was told recently that traditional ice cream recipes use egg custards, and eggs are definitely keto, so I was a bit curious. ReplyCancel

  • RachaelHi!  I am seriously considering joining your Happy Healthy Keto program. Is there a coupon available? Thanks so muchReplyCancel

  • AnnHello:  I purchased 2 of your books, however, I was disappointed to that the nutritional value is not included.  I have to know the number of carbs, fats and proteins in everything.  Is there somewhere I can find the nutritional breakdown for each recipe?  

    Thank you,AnnReplyCancel

  • AnnWhere can you find the nutritional breakdown for all your recipes?  I bought 2 books and was disappointed to see that the nutritional breakdown for each recipe is not included.ReplyCancel

  • Francheska KsenzarskiI just bought Keto for the Holidays book. Where can I locate the calories and carbs for the recipes. None are listed next to each recipe.  This is a deal breaker for me. If I can’t get this information I am sending this back and get my money back. ReplyCancel

  • knowotny@verizon.netHi Carrie! I just yesterday stumbled onto your cookbooks and website. Just made the sheet pan cheesesteak recipe! It was great (even though I had to make a couple of substitutions). Hubby and I both loved it!

    I was going to order your Keto Ice Cream cookbook. However, I noticed that most of your recipes call for using Xylitol. As we have six small dogs in our household, I don’t keep xylitol in my kitchen due to it being deadly to dogs with no antidote. I’m afraid if any a little got spilled, one of the fur kids might lick it up. (Messy cook here, lol!) So, will the ice cream recipes work pretty well with erythritol and/or monk fruit? Those are my go to sweeteners, as well as some stevia. Or, I’m open to other suggestions! Thanks in advance!ReplyCancel

  • GayleWhere can I ask you a question about a recipe ?ReplyCancel

  • RobertaHello Carrie, I am currently going through Cancer and a lot of the recipes you provide have dairy, eggs etc. in your recipes and I am unable to eat these foods.  Do you have any recipes that do not have these foods in them?  Thank you!ReplyCancel

  • LizI’ve owned the ice cream book for quite some time but never made the lemon pop before today. Not sure if it was my lemons or what, but the lemon flavor is pretty subtle with the batch I made (and I doubled the juice knowing I would like more) what do you think would be the best approach to a stronger lemon flavor? Steeping the zest longer? Increasing the juice, or adding some lemon extract? I don’t want to mess up the creaminess. (PS my favorite are the chocolate ice creams – I just love them!)ReplyCancel

White Chocolate Tart au Citron

This won’t be the first time I have started a post with the words: I love lemon. And I am certain it won’t be the last, although this White Chocolate Tart au Citron may well be the pinnacle of my lemon desserts.

A classic Tart au Citron has always been a firm favorite of mine, so this twist to make a keto / low carb version was an easy decision. And, while you might look at these pictures and think, “I could never make that”, I am here to assure you that it is simple and easy and you will stun your family and friends with your pastry abilities. And they will never believe this can possibly be part of your strange ‘diet’.

White Chocolate Tart au Citron | Carrie Brown

The crust for this White Chocolate Tart au Citron is the same crust I used for the fabulous Milk Chocolate Espresso Tart. I originally came up with the crust 5 years ago (FIVE YEARS?! Holy cow!) for the Chocolate Cream Tart in my Keto for the Holidays Cookbook, but I have now changed the method to give you a better result!

The change came about this summer when I was creating Frozen Key Lime Pies for The Ice Cream of the Month Club, and I wasn’t happy with the ‘pie’ part because it became soggy when frozen. I experimented with various ways to prevent the sogginess and ended up toasting the almond flour before I used it, and boy howdy it’s a huge winner for making no-bake, press-in crusts! It might seem weird the first time you try it, but once you taste the tart crust you’ll never want to do it any other way.

White Chocolate Tart au Citron | Carrie Brown

You can make this White Chocolate Tart au Citron in advance, and the first stage can be done several hours – or even a day – before the second, making it perfect for when you are cooking a lot of food or a lot of different dishes. Getting your dessert ready in advance equals way less stress and way more fun for you!

This dreamy White Chocolate Tart au Citron is equally special for a summer dinner or on your holiday buffet table, so grab some Choc Zero White Chocolate Chips (Use code: carriebrown for a 10% discount!) and stash them in the pantry so you can delight your guests all year.


White Chocolate Tart au Citron

Author: Carrie Brown | Prep time:  45 mins   |   Cook time:  0  |   Total time: 45 mins + chilling time |  Serves: 12

What You Need

What You Do

Pre-Prep

  • Lightly brush a 9” loose-bottomed pan with avocado oil. I used this square tart pan, but you can use whatever shape you like. I used the square just to give you inspiration and ideas. The important thing is that it has a loose bottom, otherwise getting your tart out of the pan is a problem.
  1. Put the almond flour in a dry skillet over a medium and toast until golden brown – about 4 minutes. Stir and turn often to ensure they toast evenly.
  2. Remove the almond flour from the heat, pour into a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the erythritol and cocoa and mix well.
  4. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the dry ingredients are completely coated.
  5. Pour the nut mixture into an oiled, 9” loose-bottomed tart pan of whatever shape you prefer and spread out evenly. Using a straight-sided glass press the almonds down firmly and evenly across the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
  6. Place pan in the fridge so that the crust firms.
  7. Put the eggs, allulose, and lemon juice into a medium pan and whisk together well.
  8. Turn the heat on low and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens.
  9. As soon as you see the firs bubble appear remove from the heat.
  10. Add the white chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.
  11. Add the butter one tablespoon at a time, stirring between each addition until completely melted, mixed in, and smooth.
  12. Remove the tart case from the fridge and carefully pour the lemon chocolate into it.
  13. Gently tap one side or one end of the tart pan on the counter to make air bubbles rise to the surface and also to make the chocolate flow evenly into all the nooks and crannies of the tart case.
  14. Carefully place the tart back in the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours until set.
  15. Remove from the fridge a couple of hours before serving for the best texture. Remove it from the tart pan as soon as you remove it from the fridge as it is a lot stronger when very cold.
  16. Using a small knife gently run it between the tart and tart pan to release it.
  17. Stand the tart on a shallow bowl to make removing the pan rim easy.
  18. Leave the tart on the pan base and place it on your serving dish.
  19. I decorated mine by drizzling with melted Choc Zero White Chocolate Chips (Use code: carriebrown for a 10% discount!). I poured some into a small piping bag (you can use a small Ziploc bag and snip the corner off) to give a very fine drizzle. I whipped cream to stiff peaks and piped randomly directly on the tart. Then I dredged very lightly with cocoa powder and popped tiny triangles of lemon slices on top of half of the cream swirls.

Top Recipe Tips

  • This looks complicated and seems to have a ton of steps, but it’s really simple and easy. You’ll see.
  • This is very rich so plan on getting a lot of small servings out of this recipe.
  • When you get it out the fridge you might see beads of moisture appear on the surface. Don’t panic! They will disappear when the tart comes to room temperature.
  • Slice using a sharp knife that has been warmed under hot water and then wiped. It will make it much easier and you will be able to get clean slices like in the picture. After each cut, put under warm running water and wipe clean.
  • You can also use lime juice instead of lemon if you prefer or want something more unusual.
  • If you use a square tart pan you can also cut into bars instead of wedges by cutting in half, then half again, and then slicing each quarter into slices.
  • I used Choc Zero White Chocolate Chips (Use code: carriebrown for a 10% discount!) and for best results I recommend you do the same. DO NOT use 100% unsweetened chocolate. You can use any sugar-free chocolate you like but the taste will and the texture may be different. Not all chocolates are the same {insert heart emoji here}.

What You Do

Pre-Prep

  • Lightly brush a 9” loose-bottomed pan with avocado oil. I used the largest of these rectangular tart pans, but you can use whatever shape you like. I used the rectangle just to give you inspiration and ideas. The important thing is that it has a loose bottom, otherwise getting your tart out of the pan is a problem.
  1. Put the almond flour in a dry skillet over a medium and toast until golden brown – about 4 minutes. Stir and turn often to ensure they toast evenly.

  6. Place pan in the fridge so that the crust firms.
  7. Put the heavy cream and ground coffee into a pan and heat until the cream just begins to bubble. Turn the heat off, stir, and leave to cool for 30 minutes.
  8. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the cream and coffee grounds through it. Discard the coffee grounds. Put them on your roses.
  9. Add the sea salt and vanilla extract and return the cream to the pan.
  10. Put the chocolate chips in the bowl the cream was in.
  11. Gently heat the cream until it just starts to steam.
  12. Quickly pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and stir with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted.
  13. Leave to cool for about 30 minutes.
  14. Remove the tart pan from the fridge and carefully pour the chocolate cream into the tart case.
  15. Gently tap one side or one end of the tart pan on the counter to make air bubbles rise to the surface and also to make the chocolate flow evenly into all the nooks and crannies of the tart case.

I poured some into a small piping bag (you can use a small Ziploc bag and snip the corner off) to give a very fine drizzle. Then I made some coffee whipped cream by adding espresso powder to heavy whipping cream and whipping to stiff peaks and piping directly on the tart. Then I dredged very lightly with cocoa powder and popped a coffee bean on top of each swirl of coffee whip.

  • You’re gonna want to put that coffee whip on everything.
  • For dairy-free sub the heavy cream with thick (canned) coconut milk.
  • I used Choc Zero Milk Chocolate Chips (Use code: carriebrown for a 10% discount!) and for best results I recommend you do the same. DO NOT use 100% unsweetened chocolate. You can use any sugar-free chocolate you like but the taste will and the texture may be different. Not all chocolates are the same {insert heart emoji here}.
  • This comes out pretty ‘dark’, but if you want to use dark chocolate chips you can. I recommend increasing the coffee beans to 2 ¼ oz. / 60g otherwise you won’t get much espresso flavor come through.

    Cranberry Mayonnaise

    Wait. Cranberry Mayonnaise?? CRANBERRY MAYONNAISE!! Yep, it’s A Thing and it. is. delicious. Creamy, refreshing, and with a slight tang it will totally upgrade your turkey sandwich experience. It’s not sweet and it’s not tart, it’s a middle ground of awesomeness. Then, when you bite into a piece of cranberry you get an extra hit of cranberry flavor.

    This recipe has a higher egg: oil ratio to make a more stable mayonnaise as the addition of cranberry sauce could contribute to it splitting or becoming too thin. And no one wants thin mayo.

    Cranberry Mayonnaise | Carrie Brown

    My taste-testers were skeptical, but once they tasted it they loved it! Their favorite way of eating it – after turkey sandwiches of course – was to slice an avocado in half, remove the pit and then fill the hole with Cranberry Mayonnaise and eat it all with a spoon. And that’s my new preferred way to eat an avocado now.

    If you wait all year for the Turkey and Cranberry Sauce sandwiches (*raises hand*) then this year try switching it up with this fantastic Cranberry Mayonnaise. This might just be your new favorite dressing.


    Cranberry Mayonnaise

    Author: Carrie Brown | Prep time:  10 mins   |   Cook time:  0  |   Total time: 10 mins | 

    What You Need

    • 2 eggs
    • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
    • 2 tsp. lemon juice
    • 1 tsp. white wine vinegar
    • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
    • ¼ tsp. sea salt (For the best salt and a 15% discount use code: carriebrown)
    • 1 ½ cup / 12 fl oz. avocado oil
    • 12 oz. / 335g Cranberry Sauce (Recipe: https://carriebrown.com/archives/26738)

    What You Do

    1. USING A STICK BLENDER: Put the eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt in the bottom of the jug that came with your stick blender, or a tall mason or similar jar slightly wider than the whisk of the stick blender.
    2. Holding the blender in one hand make sure the bottom of blender is in contact with the bottom of the jar and turn on to mix the ingredients.
    3. With the other hand slowly pour the avocado oil into the jar while the blender is running.
    4. Once all the oil has been added whisk until the ingredients at the bottom turn thick and creamy, then slowly – while the blender is still running – raise the stick blender up the jar.
    5. Blend until all of the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
    6. Add the Cranberry Sauce to the jar and stir into the mayonnaise until completely mixed.
    7. OPTIONAL: If you want smooth Cranberry Mayonnaise then use the stick blender to blend them together.
    8. Spoon the Cranberry mayonnaise into a mason jar or similar airtight storage container and keep in the fridge.
    9. I highly recommend making it a day ahead and letting it sit overnight or for a day before eating it.
    1. USING A BLENDER: Put the eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt in the blender jug and blend until mixed.
    2. Remove the middle of the blender lid and with the blender still running very slowly drizzle the oil through the hole in the lid so that it mixes into the other ingredients.
    3. Continue drizzling the oil slowly into the mayonnaise until it is all blended in and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
    4. For smooth Cranberry Mayonnaise, turn the blender to low speed and add the Cranberry Sauce, blending until completely mixed.
    5. For chunky Cranberry Mayonnaise, spoon the mayonnaise from the blender into a bowl, add the Cranberry Sauce and mix together well.
    6. Spoon the Cranberry mayonnaise into a mason jar or similar airtight storage container and keep in the fridge.
    7. I highly recommend making it a day ahead and letting it sit overnight or for a day before eating it.

    Top Recipe Tips

    • I highly recommend making this the day before you need it to let all the flavors meld together fully.
    • Do not freeze. Well, you can, but you won’t be happy when you defrost it.
    • If this is your first time making mayonnaise, take it super slow and easy.

      Cranberry Thyme Dip

      I give you probably the easiest recipe on earth – and despite that this Cranberry Thyme Dip is freakin’ delicious! Three ingredients + heat + time and you’ll be wowing yourself as well as friends and family.

      Cranberry Thyme Dip | Carrie Brown

      Perfect for your holiday table, a pre-dinner appetizer, or even a welcome new addition to your game day feast, this Cranberry Thyme Dip will surprise and delight. Once it’s made you just need to add the dip transporters of your choice – I am a huge fan of Fox Hill Kitchens Crisps or toasted Bagel Holz – and you’re set.


      Cranberry Thyme Dip

      Author: Carrie Brown | Prep time:  5 mins   |   Cook time:  20  |   Total time: 25 mins

      What You Need

      What You Do

      1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
      2. Mash the cranberry sauce in a small bowl and stir in the finely chopped fresh thyme.
      3. Unwrap the brie wheel and carefully slice off the top rind. Take as little off as you can – just enough to reveal the soft inside.
      4. Place the brie wheel in a dish the same size or as close to it as you can get.
      5. Cover a small baking tray with aluminum foil and place the dish with the brie wheel in the center.
      6. Place on the center rack in the oven and bake for 10 minutes until melted.
      7. Remove from the oven and carefully stir the mashed cranberry thyme mixture into the brie wheel. It’ll be gooey and messy and that’s the point.
      8. Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.
      9. Remove from the oven, place the dish with the brie on a larger serving dish and surround with dip transporters such as Fox Hill Kitchens Crisps or Croutonz (use code: carrie for a 15% discount!)
      10. You can pop the brie back in the oven to soften again if it isn’t devoured before it cools off.

      Top Recipe Tips

      • If serving a crowd consider a larger 1 lb. / 450g brie wheel and double the other ingredients.

        Bacon Cranberry Melt

        Bacon, cranberry sauce, and ooey-gooey mozzarella cheese between two pieces of Fox Hill Bunz is the all-year round sandwich you didn’t realize was missing from your life. This Bacon Cranberry Melt is destined to be your IT sandwich for the next forever.

        Bacon Cranberry Melt | Carrie Brown

        An entirely keto, entirely delicious choice for the holiday season and beyond, cranberry lovers everywhere can rejoice that their favorite condiment now makes a regular old grilled cheese into something spectacular.

        If you love the holidays for the Turkey and Cranberry Sauce sandwiches (*raises hand*) then this year try switching it up with a warm, gooey Bacon Cranberry Melt. You won’t be disappointed.


        Bacon Cranberry Melt

        Author: Carrie Brown | Prep time:  10 mins   |   Cook time:  20  |   Total time: 3 0mins |  Serves: Use 1 Bunz per person

        What You Need

        What You Do

        1. Cook the bacon to your desired crispness.
        2. Slice the bunz in half and place both halves cut side down on a cutting board. The cut sides will be the outsides of the sandwich.
        3. Spread Cranberry Sauce generously on both halves of the bunz.
        4. Slice the mozzarella and place enough slices on one half to cover the cranberry sauce.
        5. Place cooked bacon slices on top of the mozzarella slices.
        6. Invert the other half of the bunz (cranberry sauce down) onto the bacon slices.
        7. Spread softened butter carefully onto the cut surface of the top bunz.
        8. Watch the video for tips & tricks on cooking a grilled cheese: https://youtu.be/PmyA7xQ3qWI
        9. Carefully flip the sandwich over into a skillet so that the buttered side is on the pan. Flipping quickly will stop the sandwich layers from sliding.
        10. Once the sandwich is in the pan, carefully spread softened butter on the cut surface of the bunz.
        11. Heat the pan over low heat until the bottom bun is golden brown and crispy – about 7 minutes. If your cheese slices are very thick, cover the skillet with a lid or a baking tray to warm the cheese up faster so that the cheese is melted by the time the bunz brown.
        12. Carefully flip the sandwich over to cook the other side. Cover if the cheese needs to melt faster.
        13. Once the second side is browned and crispy, carefully lift out of the skillet onto a cutting board.
        14. Using a serrated knife and a sawing motion cut the sandwich in half and serve.

        Top Recipe Tips

        • Watch the Grilled Cheese video for the cooking technique before you start: https://youtu.be/PmyA7xQ3qWI
        • Spreading cranberry sauce of both halves of the sandwich helps the cheese and bacon to stick to the bunz better and stop the slide when you flip them during cooking.
        • You can use whichever melty cheese you prefer, but mozzarella does very well here.
