Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette (about 12 inches long)
- 4 ounces of thinly sliced prosciutto
- 6 ounces of brie cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard (optional, for a bit of tanginess)
- 2 tablespoons of arugula or fresh spinach
Feel free to use whole grain or gluten-free baguette if you prefer, and substitute honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. This will help melt the brie slightly, blending the flavors beautifully.
- Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. I always love the crackle of a fresh baguette being sliced open, the promise of good things to come.
- Spread a thin layer of whole grain mustard on the bottom half of the baguette if you’re using it. It adds an unexpected tang that cuts through the richness.
- Layer the slices of brie cheese evenly across the bottom half of the baguette. You’ll want the cheese to be at room temperature for easy slicing and maximum flavor.
- Arrange the prosciutto slices over the brie. In my experience, folding the slices over themselves creates a delightful texture when you bite into the sandwich.
- Drizzle the honey over the prosciutto, ensuring each bite will have a hint of sweetness.
- Place a handful of arugula or spinach on top of the honey-drizzled prosciutto for freshness and a peppery crunch.
- Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette and place it on a baking sheet.
- Warm the sandwich in the oven for about 5 minutes, just enough to soften the brie and warm the bread. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-toasting.
- Remove from the oven, slice into manageable sections, and serve immediately.
