Country Cherry Melts

Hi everyone! Here's a new comforting sandwich My Mom(Davette) and I came up with that you can enjoy. We're still looking around at tons of snow and sometimes you want to have something with a homey taste. Hope you all enjoy these melts! I know these are not ranking 10 on the healthy scale but when you have a splurge day, these definitely wont hurt! Oh yea, they have dried cherries in them too. If you're one that doesn't like fruit in your meals, just omit them. I wont feel bad! lol.

In a bowl, combine 6tbl. butter and mayo. Take two slices of bread; spread enough mayo mixture to coat each slice. Sprinkle about 2tbl. of cherries on top of one slice. Using 2 slices of brie, break it apart to cover sandwich. Top with 2 slices of ham, layer a few leaves of spinach and top with other slice of bread. Repeat process for remaining sandwiches.

With remaining mayo mixture, spread enough on the tops of the sandwiches. You will place the bare side down into the coated pan.
