Ingredients
Scale:
4 slices of artisanal bread (such as sourdough or whole grain)
4 ounces of brie cheese, sliced
2-3 tablespoons of blackberry jam
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
A pinch of salt for seasoning (optional)
Fresh thyme or rosemary for added flavor (optional)
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the sliced brie cheese evenly. Add 2-3 tablespoons of blackberry jam over the brie.
Place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side up, forming two sandwiches.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the undersides are golden brown. Flip the sandwiches carefully.
Grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently with the spatula.
Check for doneness; the bread should be crispy and golden brown, and the brie should be melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing diagonally.
