Description
Grilled Brie and prosciutto sandwich topped with caramelized onion and fig jam.
Ingredients
- 1 whole Small Yellow Onion
- 1 wheel (about 8 Oz. Size) Brie (or Camembert As A Substitute)
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
- 4 slices Prosciutto Or Bacon
- 4 slices Sourdough Or Wheat Bread (or Any Bread Of Your Choosing)
- 2 ounces, fluid Fig Jam
Preparation
Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Slice Brie into 1/8 inch thick pieces.
In a small pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon butter. Add onions to pan and cook until caramelized, about 6 minutes.
If using prosciutto, preheat oven to 350ºF. Add a thin layer of olive oil to a sheet pan. Lay the pieces of prosciutto out on the pan and bake for about 5 minutes or until lightly crispy. If using bacon, cut bacon into small strips and sauté over medium heat until crispy, about 7–8 minutes. Drain excess grease on a paper towel.
Spread half of the slices of bread with fig jam. Layer cheese (about 3 to 4 inch wide slices per sandwich each) over jam. Spread bacon or prosciutto evenly across cheese. Top each side of the sandwich with caramelized onions and remaining slices of bread.
Heat remaining tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches, cooking each side in the butter until cheese is melty and bread is lightly browned to your liking. Flip and repeat on the opposite side.
