Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Substitution: Multigrain or brioche can be used for a sweeter taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Prep Note: Use softened butter for easy spreading.
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Butter Substitution: Pear butter can be used if apple butter is unavailable.
  • 4 ounces Brie Cheese Substitution: Camembert or triple crème cheese can be used.
  • 1 small Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Prep Note: Thinly slice for even layering.
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves Optional but recommended for an elevated taste.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  2. Spread a thin layer of softened unsalted butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  3. On the unbuttered sides of two slices, spread about 1 tablespoon of sweet apple butter evenly.
  4. Slice the Brie into thick pieces and layer it evenly over the apple butter on both slices; add thin slices of apple and thyme if using.
  5. Carefully place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered sides facing outward, and press down gently.
  6. Place the sandwiches into the preheated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. After flipping, cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the Brie is gooey. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
