Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 Honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces brie cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- Optional: a handful of arugula
- Optional: a sprinkle of walnuts
Instructions
- Slice the Honeycrisp apples thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut the brie into thin slices and set aside.
- Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
- Place one slice of bread buttered-side down on a cutting board. Layer with brie slices, followed by the apple slices. Drizzle a small amount of hot honey over the apples. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered-side up.
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Let it warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Carefully place the sandwich on the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown and the brie has melted.
- Remove from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half. Drizzle with a bit more hot honey if desired and enjoy!
Notes
[‘Use room-temperature brie to ensure it melts quickly and evenly.’, ‘Slice apples thinly to help them cook slightly and blend seamlessly with the brie.’, ‘Avoid overstuffing the sandwich to make flipping easier.’, ‘Cook on medium heat to prevent the bread from burning while the cheese melts.’, ‘Adjust the spice level of your hot honey to suit your taste.’]
