Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 60 grams Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)
- 1 large Fresh tomato
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Slice the Brie cheese into thin pieces (approximately 0.5 cm thick) and set aside.
Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small slices or chunks if they are large.
Slice the fresh tomato crosswise into thin rounds.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each sourdough bread slice. This will be the outer side of the sandwich during cooking.
On the non-buttered side of two bread slices, layer the sandwich fillings: start with a few slices of Brie, then add the fresh tomato slices, a sprinkle of salt and black pepper, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves. Add another layer of Brie slices on top for extra creaminess.
Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, making sure the buttered sides are facing outward.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat for about 30 seconds.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crisp and the Brie is melted and gooey.
If necessary, reduce the heat slightly to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese melts fully.
Remove from heat, let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute, and then cut them in half for easier enjoyment.
Serve immediately for a warm, melty, and flavorful experience!
