→ Sandwich Ingredients
06 -
8 slices rustic sourdough
07 -
Butter for spreading
08 -
1 tbsp chopped thyme leaves
09 -
300g creamy brie cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
In a saucepan, toss together blackberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and salt. Heat until boiling, lower to a simmer, and mash the berries. Stir occasionally for about 7-10 minutes until thick. Let it cool off.
02 -
Cut brie into slices about half an inch thick.
03 -
Preheat a skillet over medium heat, making sure it’s not too hot so the cheese has time to melt gently.
04 -
Spread butter on one side of 4 bread slices. Lay these slices butter side down in the preheated skillet. Arrange the brie slices on top and sprinkle thyme over them.
05 -
Spread the blackberry jam generously on the remaining bread slices. Set these on top of the brie-loaded ones with the jam facing down.
06 -
Butter the tops of the sandwiches, flip them, and grill until the bread is toasted golden and the cheese is gooey.
07 -
Let sandwiches sit for a moment, then use a sharp knife to cut them into halves before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
The jam thickens more as it sits.
02 -
You might have to make them in batches depending on pan space.
03 -
Keep the heat low to help the brie melt nicely.
