Description
This Roasted Apple and Brie Panini brings together tender caramelized apples, creamy brie, sweet fig jam, and crisp golden bread. It’s the ultimate balance of sweet, savory, and melty – perfect for a cozy lunch, brunch, or light dinner.
Ingredients
1 apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji), thinly sliced
3 ounces brie cheese, sliced
2 tablespoons fig jam or spread
2 slices rustic bread (like sourdough or multigrain)
1 tablespoon butter, softened
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place thinly sliced apples on a baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes, until just tender and slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
2. Spread butter on the outside of each bread slice. Flip and spread fig jam on the inside of both slices.
3. Layer roasted apple slices and brie over one slice (jam side up). Top with the second slice of bread, jam side facing in.
4. Heat a skillet or panini press over medium heat. Grill sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side (or until golden and melty).
5. Let rest 1 minute before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t skip roasting the apples – it deepens their flavor and brings out natural sweetness.
Let the sandwich rest a minute after grilling to avoid the cheese oozing out too fast.
For extra depth, try a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of fresh thyme before grilling.
