directions

  • Spread the fig preserves onto 4 slices of bread.
  • Cut the Brie into 8 long, thin slices.
  • Lay 2 slices of Brie over the preserves. (I have also used creme de brie since I don't really care for the rind of Brie. If you go this route you can just spread the creme de Brie over the other slices of bread.).
  • Arrange the prosciutto over the Brie.
  • Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
  • Spread half of the butter over the tops of the sandwiches and invert onto a hot skillet or pan.
  • Spread the remaining butter on the other side of the sandwiches.
  • Cook on the stove or in the oven, turning the sandwiches over once or twice, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
  • Cut in half to serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I’m a 20-something writer living with my wonderful husband of four years and our headstrong basenji pup in the Southeastern part of the US. We're expecting our first baby in Feb '09. DH and I love to travel. We barely get back from one trip before we’re planning the next one! Earlier this year we visited Australia and New Zealand and seriously thought about never coming home! We’re not sure where we’re headed next. Argentina is high on the list, But then again, so are Greece, South Africa, and Russia. So many places to experience, so little time—and money! I read and craft in my down-time. You’ll never find me without a book tucked away in my bag or one of my pockets and I’ve always got some kind of craft project going on. DH is a tennis player so we spend a lot of time out on the courts. Well, he’s out on the courts; I’m on the sidelines guarding the beer!
