Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 8 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the Baguette: Slice the baguette into sandwich-sized portions horizontally, creating a top and bottom half for each sandwich.
- Butter the Bread: Spread a thin layer of softened butter evenly on the inner sides of each baguette half to enhance flavor and aid in toasting.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer slices of brie cheese evenly over the bottom half of each baguette, then add a generous layer of thinly sliced apples on top of the brie. Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette.
- Toast the Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches in a pan or skillet over medium heat or use a panini press. Toast lightly for 3–5 minutes, pressing gently, until the brie begins to soften and the bread is golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice if desired, and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Choose a firm apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a nice balance of tartness and sweetness.
- You can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of fresh thyme for an extra dimension of flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, this sandwich is suitable as it contains no meat.
- If you prefer a more melted cheese, cover the pan with a lid during toasting to trap heat and help the brie soften faster.
