Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 4 slices sourdough or brioche bread
Cheese:
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced (rind optional)
Apple:
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Fuji preferred)
Additional:
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Sandwich: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer sliced Brie, apple slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey if using. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.
- Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing slightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
- Serve: Slice the sandwiches and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a handful of arugula or a smear of fig jam.
- Granny Smith apples can be used for a tart contrast.
- Use a panini press for an extra crispy texture.
