Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Fresh baguette or sourdough bread
- 150 grams Brie cheese
- 4 tablespoons Pear paste
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 handful Fresh arugula (optional)
Instructions
Slice the bread into four even slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Spread 1 tablespoon of pear paste on each of the four slices.
Thinly slice the brie cheese and layer it generously on two slices of bread.
Sprinkle a light pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the brie cheese to enhance the flavor.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over the brie on each sandwich. If using, add a small handful of fresh arugula for a peppery, fresh touch.
Place the remaining pear paste-coated slices of bread on top to close the sandwiches.
Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Carefully place the sandwiches into the pan and press down slightly with a spatula.
Cook each side for approximately 2 to 3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the brie begins to melt.
Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them rest for 1 minute. Slice diagonally in half and serve warm.
