Ingredients
 

  • 4 Tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
  • 4 thick slices bread (see note)
  • ½ cup apricot preserves
  • 5 ounces brie cheese (sliced)
  • 3 ounces sliced prosciutto
  • ½ cup arugula
  • Good quality balsamic vinegar (for drizzling)

Instructions

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium high heat. Butter one side of each of the slices of bread and place it, buttered side down, on the skillet. Grill for 2-3 minutes or until golden and toasted.
  • Spread the apricot jam on the interior of the bread. Top one slice with the sliced brie, then layer the prosciutto on top, followed by the greens.
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sandwich together.

Notes

  • The sandwich you see pictured here was made with La Brea's Toasted Sunflower Honey, which was sliced horizontally, leaving the crust intact on top and bottom. Feel free to slice your bread this way if it's not too tall or to use regular sandwich slices if you prefer.  Sourdough, French bread, grainy wheat, or a ciabatta roll also works well for these sandwiches.
  • Grilling the bread is completely optional, but we like the extra flavor and texture it brings.
  • The sandwiches can be made up to 24 hours in advance, wrapped tightly in parchment and foil, and refrigerated. Ideally, let the sandwich warm up at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before eating.
  • These recipe amounts are more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule. Just aim to fully cover the sandwich with all of the ingredients and you'll have a great thing going!
