Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 3 ounces brie cheese
- 0.5 whole apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 0.25 cup arugula (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat.
Slice the apple thinly, discarding the core and seeds. Set the slices aside.
Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Lay one slice of bread, butter side down, on a clean surface. Layer the brie cheese evenly on top.
Place the apple slices over the brie cheese. Drizzle the honey lightly over the apples.
If using arugula, add it on top of the apples for an extra layer of flavor.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
Carefully transfer the sandwich to the preheated panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down on the sandwich with a spatula or place another heavy pan on top.
Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the brie is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
