Grilled Brie & Fig Sandwich

I love this recipe for a quick lunch wether I am working from home, or it's the weekend. This is not difficult at all, and is a nice departure from a traditional grilled cheese. The brie and the fig are perfectly gooey, and if I eat it out on the deck at my little bistro table I feel like it gives me a cool french girl vibe. Enjoy!

Grilled Brie & Fig Sandwich

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ciabatta roll, sliced horizontally down the middle (the ones from Trader Joe's are pre-sliced and work great for these)
• 1 ounce brie, rind removed and cut into pieces
• 1 Tbsp fig preserves (I prefer the ones from Bonne Maman)
• ¼ Cup arugula
• 1 -2 Tbsp butter

 
PREPARATION:
Step 1:
Open the bread and spread a thin layer of fig preserves on the inside of bottom of the ciabatta roll. Top with brie and arugula. Place the remaining half of the ciabatta roll on top.

Step 2:
Melt 1 Tbsp of  butter in a  pan on a low medium heat. Once it has melted, add the sandwich to the  pan, move it around to coat the bottom in butter and let it  and cook for 2 1/2 minutes. 

Step 3:
When the bread is crispy and golden you'll be ready to flip it, but first use a pastry brush to coat the top of the roll with the remaining butter in the pan. Then flip the sandwich and cook for another 2 minutes until crisp and golden. Serve and Enjoy!
