Brie~Leigh Panini

Guest post by my wife, Leigh

Leigh is rarely in the kitchen except to eat (her words, not mine!).  But during our extended home stay, her culinary interests have increased a bit.  She recently put together one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever tasted and we had no choice but to share – The Brie by Leigh Panini Sandwich is just too good to keep to ourselves. 

Ingredients:

  • Brie
  • Ham and/or Chicken Sliced Fresh and Fully Cooked (lunchmeat can work too)
  • Thick Whole Grain Bread
  • Pepper Jelly (homemade but not yet posted) or fig or peach jam
  • Apple or pear, sliced very thin
  • Butter or butter spray (like Pam) or olive oil

Preparation:

  •  Spread outside of bread lightly with butter, butter-flavored cooking spray or olive oil
  •  Spread inside of bread (one side only) with pepper jelly
  •  Place meat, brie and fruit slices inside bread
  •  Grill (as you would grilled cheese) sandwich on both sides until bread is golden brown or place in a two-sided grill and heat as you would a panini
  • Eat and enjoy!
