Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick cut bread
  • 2 Tbsp. garlic and herbs spreadable cheese (Boursin), softened
  • 2 Tbsp. fig preserves
  • 3 oz. Brie cheese, in 4 slices
  • 6 thin slices of Granny Smith apple
  • 1 Tbsp. butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Onto one side of one slice of the bread, spread the garlic and herb spreadable cheese. Onto one side of the other slice of bread, spread the fig preserves.
  2. Arrange 2 slices of Brie on top of the spreadable cheese. Top with the apple slices in a non-overlapping layer. Top the apple with the remaining 2 slices of Brie. Invert the bread with fig preserves onto the Brie, so that it is fig-side-down.
  3. Divide the butter between the outer surfaces of both slices of bread. Spread.
  4. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwich and cook until browned underneath, 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich over and reduce the heat to low. Cook until browned underneath, 4-5 minutes.
  5. Keeping the temperature at low so as to not burn the bread, continue to cook, flipping every minute or two, until the Brie is very melted inside the sandwich, another, 5-6 minutes.
  6. Transfer sandwich to a cutting board. Cut in half and serve.
