Ingredients
- 4 slices rustic bread (sourdough, French, or multigrain)
- 4–6 oz Brie cheese (rind on or removed, sliced)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Optional: fig jam, thinly sliced apples or pears, caramelized onions, prosciutto, arugula, fresh herbs
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Place Brie slices on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
- Add any optional toppings such as jam, fruit slices, onions, or prosciutto.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.
- Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Use thicker bread slices to help hold in the melted Brie.
- Triple-cream Brie creates an even creamier melt.
- Sweet toppings like jam or fruit pair beautifully with the rich cheese.
- To reheat leftovers, use a skillet over low heat to restore crispness.
