Description

A delicious blend of creamy brie, crisp apples, and spicy-sweet hot honey, all nestled between perfectly toasted bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices Hearty white country loaf or French bread
  • 2 Organic apples, thinly sliced
  • 250 g Brie, cut into 1216 equally thin slices
  • 3 tbsp Butter for spreading
  • 4 tbsp Hot honey butter (mix of 2 tbsp salted butter and 2 tbsp Fireweed honey with chili flakes)
  • 2 tbsp Salted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp Fireweed honey, or other mild honey
  • 1/4 tsp Hot chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Mix 2 tbsp salted butter and 2 tbsp Fireweed honey in a bowl, stir in 1/4 tsp hot chili flakes, and adjust heat level if desired.
  2. Core and thinly slice apples, arrange brie slices overlapping slightly on the bread.
  3. Spread 3 tbsp butter thinly on the outer sides of each bread slice.
  4. On four slices, spread 1 tbsp hot honey butter, layer brie slices, apple slices, and extra chili flakes if desired.
  5. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side out, and press gently.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-low, place sandwiches in and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden.
  7. If needed, cover the skillet for 1 minute or bake at 350 F for 3 minutes for even melting.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board, rest for 1 minute, then slice diagonally for clean edges.

Notes

Use room-temperature butter for easier spreading and choose crisp, slightly tart apples for best flavor contrast.
