Grilled Brie Fig And Prosciutto Sandwiches Food

GRILLED BRIE, FIG AND PROSCIUTTO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 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.

FRESH FIG AND PROSCIUTTO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Scoop out a bit of bread from the centre of the bread halves.
• Mix the oil and basil in a small bowl and drizzle evenly over both bread halves.
• Arrange the prosciutto evenly over the bottom half of the bread.
• Gently spread the cheese over the prosciutto and top the cheese with sliced figs. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and black pepper.
• Cover with the top half of the bread and wrap in aluminum foil, leaving the seam on top open slightly.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is heated through, about 15 minutes. Cut into 8 equal pieces and serve immediately.

BRIE AND PROSCIUTTO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Assemble the sandwich by smearing the honey mustard on the toast.
• Place the brie on top of the honey mustard then the prosciutto on top of the cheese.
• If you like, you can put another toasted slice of rye bread on top to close the sandwich but I prefer to eat mine open faced.
• Enjoy!

PROSCIUTTO AND BRIE SANDWICHES WITH ROSEMARY FIG CONFIT

Steps:

• Make sandwiches:
• With a serrated knife halve rolls horizontally or cut loaf diagonally into 4 pieces, halving each piece horizontally.
• Spread cut sides of bread with confit and make 4 sandwiches with prosciutto and Brie.
• Make rosemary fig confit:
• In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan stir together ingredients and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Remove lid and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until most liquid is evaporated and mixture is thickened. In a food processor coarsely purée fig mixture. Confit may be made 5 days ahead and chilled, covered.
• Bring confit to room temperature before using. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue to medium-high heat.
• Cut Brie in half to make two half-moons. Wrap one half and save for another use. Cut other half into eight equal, pie-shaped wedges. Wrap one piece of prosciutto around each wedge of Brie, covering as much of Brie as possible. Place cantaloupe on serving platter.
• Place prosciutto-wrapped Brie wedges on greased grill. Grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until grill-marked and cheese is starting to melt. Place on top of cantaloupe slices and serve immediately.
• **** To prepare this ahead of time, prepare the prosciutto and brie packages. Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until grilling time. ****.
