Grilled Ham with Brie and Apple

(Grilled Cheese with a Twist)

Preparation time: 15 minutes

This sublime trio really elevates the classic grilled cheese to another stratosphere. Try one of the many Canadian Bries. If Granny Smith apples are unavailable, use a Golden Delicious or Matsu, to make sure you get a crisp bite.

Ingredients:

8 slices Italian or French bread (not baguette style), 1/4inch (5 mm) thick 8

2 tsp Dijon mustard 10 mL

6 oz brie, rind removed, sliced 180 g

8 thin slices Black Forest Ham 8

1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced 1

1/3 cup Gay Lea Spreadable Butter 75 mL

Instructions:

Place 4 slices of bread on work surface; spread mustard evenly over top. Divide Brie evenly among bread, then ham and then apple slices. Top with remaining bread. Spread half of butter over top of bread.

Place sandwiches, buttered side down, two at a time, in non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Spread half of remaining butter over top of bread. Cook for about 5 minutes or until underside of bread is golden and cheese has started to melt. Flip sandwiches over; cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer or until underside is golden and cheese is melted.

Repeat with remaining sandwiches and butter.

Makes 4 sandwiches.
