Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 ounces brie cheese sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ green apple sliced thin

Instructions

  • Spread the softened butter over one side of each slice of bread. Flip the bread over so that the butter is facing down.
  • Arrange 2-3 slices of brie on 2 pieces of prepared bread.
  • Top with a drizzle of honey and apple slices.
  • Add sliced brie and top with remaining bread, buttered side up.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cover with a lid, cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is slightly golden in color.
  • Remove the lid, flip the sandwiches, cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove, slice in half, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a pan that has a lid that fits to keep the heat in while cooking.
  • When cooking do not have the heat up too high as this will cause the bread to burn before the cheese has time to melt.
  • Having the bread buttered side facing out helps to create a gorgeous golden sandwich.
  • For a lower calorie option, use half the amount of butter, and half the amount of cheese.
