Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 4 slices sourdough or brioche bread
Cheese:
- 6 ounces brie cheese, sliced (rind on or off per preference)
Apple:
- 1 medium apple (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), thinly sliced
Additional:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix Honey Cinnamon Spread: In a small bowl, combine honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Prepare Sandwiches: Spread the honey mixture on one side of each bread slice. Layer brie and apple slices on two bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, honey-side in, to form sandwiches.
- Cook: Butter the outsides of the sandwiches. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Let the sandwiches sit for 1 minute before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Add a few chopped walnuts or a touch of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- For extra crispiness, use a cast iron skillet and cook low and slow.
- This sandwich pairs well with a light arugula salad or warm soup.
