Servings: 2 sandwiches
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
4 slices rustic sourdough bread
6 oz Brie cheese, sliced (rind on or off, your preference)
½ cup fresh blackberries, halved if large
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp honey
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Make the balsamic reduction
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey.
Simmer over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the sandwich
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices, buttered side down, on a skillet or griddle.
Layer with sliced Brie, fresh blackberries, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up.
Grill to golden perfection
Cook over medium heat, pressing gently with a spatula, for 3–4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
Serve
Slice diagonally and serve warm, with an extra drizzle of balsamic reduction if desired.
