Preparation
In a small skillet, toast pistachios on medium heat with 2 tbsp (30 mL) sugar. Cook until sugar becomes golden brown and sticks to pistachios.
Transfer to a parchment-lined plate. Once pistachios have cooled, coarsely chop.
In a small saucepan, mix cranberries, cranberry juice and remaining sugar. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until cranberries are tender. Using an upright or hand blender, purée mixture until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Grill cheeses for 3–4 minutes on each side. You can also place cheeses on a parchment-lined baking sheet and grill in the oven, preheated to 450°F (230°C), for 4–5 minutes on each side. Serve hot on top of cranberry coulis, garnished with crispy pistachios.
