Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Substitute with multigrain or brioche for sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Can be substituted with plant-based butter for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Butter Substitution: Pear butter can be used if apples are out of season.
  • 4 oz Brie Cheese Alternative: Camembert or a vegan Brie-style cheese for plant-based variations.
  • 1 medium Apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Use thinly sliced apples for balance.
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme Omit if not available, or substitute with herbs like rosemary or sage for a different profile.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Spread softened unsalted butter generously on one side of each slice of sourdough bread and set aside, buttered side up.
  3. Flip two slices of bread to expose the unbuttered side and spread apple butter evenly across each slice.
  4. Layer slices of Brie cheese on top of the apple butter, add thinly sliced apples and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
  5. Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered sides facing outward, and gently press down.
  6. Cook the sandwiches in the preheated skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressed gently for even browning.
  7. Once crispy and melted, slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
