Chicken Brie And Fig Jam Sandwich Food

GRILLED ARTISAN CHEDDAR & FIG JAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. Heat a panini press according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, heat a ridged grill pan or large skillet over medium heat.
• 2. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll in half horizontally. Spread each cut side of the roll with 1 tablespoon of the fig jam, drizzle the jam with 1 teaspoon of the oil, and season it with the salt. Arrange the Cheddar pieces closely on the bottom roll half, being sure that the cheese does not hang over the sides of the roll. Cover it with the remaining roll half, jam-side down.
• 3. Place the sandwich in the panini press and cook it until the roll is toasted and golden brown and the cheese is desirably melty, about 4 minutes, depending on the press. If using a ridged grill pan or skillet, place the sandwich in the pan and top it with a cast-iron skillet or heavy saucepan. Cook until the underside is toasted, about 2 minutes. Flip the sandwich over, top it with the cast-iron skillet again, and cook until the other side is toasted and the cheese is melty, about 2 minutes more.
• 4. Cut the sandwich in half and serve it hot.

CHICKEN, BRIE AND FIG JAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Remove the filet from your chicken breasts, and flatten to 1". Combine the dried herbs and rub onto the breasts. Heat your EVOO in a large pan on high heat, and add chicken breasts, skin side down. When skin is nicely colored, flip and sear the other side. Once you are satisfied with the color, put chicken breasts in the oven at 400 degrees and cook until tender and juices run clear. Now slice up your apples and coat with sugar and cinammon. Wrap in tin foil, and toss in the oven with chicken, Finely chop four garlic cloves and mix into mayo. Set aside. Now begin to assemble sandwiches. Cut your ciabatta buns in half and add garlic mayo, a few spinach leaves, and 4 slices of brie cheese to the bottom half. On the top half, liberally spread on some fig jam and add apple slices. Just before chicken is finished cooking, add the partially assembled sandwiches into the oven. Once cheese is slightly melted, remove everything from oven, and add chicken to sandwiches. Cut in half and enjoy warm!

GRILLED BRIE AND JAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Butter all the bread slices on one side only. Put them all, buttered side down, on a cutting board. Spread four of the slices with a thin layer of jam (about 2 teaspoons per slice). Spread the cheese on the other four slices. Pair the jam slices with the cheese slices.
• Heat a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Put as many sandwiches as will fit in the pan or on the-griddle without crowding, cover and cook until the cheese has just begun to melt and the bread is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the lid and turn the sandwiches, pressing each one firmly with a spatula to flatten it slightly. Cook the sandwiches uncovered until the bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn them once more and press with the spatula again to recrisp the bread, about 30 seconds. Cut the sandwiches in halves or quarters and serve immediately.

• Place the sandwiches in the pan, working in two batches depending on the size of the pan.

• Though the rolls start off as round, once pressed they are considerably flatter and can easily be turned, if careful.
• Serve right away, cut on the diagonal.
