Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole French baguette
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 150 grams Red seedless grapes
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the French baguette into 8 diagonal slices, about 1 cm thick each.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.
Thinly slice the Brie cheese into pieces that can cover the baguette slices.
Wash the red seedless grapes and pat them dry. Slice them in half lengthwise.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and place the buttered side of the baguette slices down onto the skillet.
Toast the bread slices for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Remove the bread from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Spread a small drizzle of honey over the unbuttered side of each slice.
Layer the brie slices onto the bread, followed by a few grape halves on top.
Sprinkle the chopped mint over the grapes, and season with a tiny pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Press the slices together gently to make sandwiches or serve them open-faced if preferred.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
