1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or honey
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange thinly sliced apple on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 10–12 minutes until softened and golden.
2. Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the other side, spread Dijon mustard or honey.
3. Layer brie slices and roasted apple on one slice of bread, sprinkle thyme if using, and top with the second slice, buttered side out.
4. Heat a panini press or skillet over medium. Grill sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
5. Let rest for a minute, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
You can prep the roasted apples up to 2 days ahead for a quicker build.
Try switching apples with pears for a milder flavor.
Add bacon or fig jam for a savory twist.
