Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 8 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the baguette: Slice the baguette lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the fillings.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread softened butter on the inside surfaces of the baguette. Layer the sliced brie cheese evenly along the bottom half of the baguette, then arrange the thin apple slices evenly over the brie.
- Toast the sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich on a baking sheet or pan and lightly toast under a broiler or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, just until the brie begins to melt and the bread is slightly crispy.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from heat, slice into portions, and serve warm to enjoy the melty cheese and crisp apple flavors.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on the apple slices before assembling.
- You can substitute the baguette with ciabatta or sourdough bread for variation.
- Please be cautious when toasting under the broiler to prevent burning.
- Use ripe but firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best taste and texture contrast.
