Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 8 pieces dried figs
- 200 grams brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the sourdough bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.
Slice the dried figs in half and set aside.
Cut the brie cheese into thin slices, about 0.5 cm thick, ensuring you have enough to generously cover the bread slices.
Place 2-3 slices of brie cheese on each piece of bread, spreading them evenly.
Top each slice with 4 dried fig halves, arranging them equidistantly for visual appeal and even flavor.
Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of honey over each bread slice, ensuring the figs and cheese are lightly coated.
Sprinkle a pinch of chopped fresh rosemary, sea salt, and ground black pepper over each sandwich.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and begins to bubble slightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is, or garnish with an extra drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
