Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread a thin layer of soft butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help create a golden, crispy crust when grilling.
- Assemble the sandwich: On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread 2 tablespoons of basil pesto per slice. Layer the thinly sliced Brie cheese evenly over the pesto. Top with the chopped sun-dried or roasted red peppers.
- Grill the sandwich: Place the other slice of bread on top of each sandwich, buttered side facing out. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Once the sandwiches are grilled to perfection, remove them from the skillet. Slice them in half and serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and warm.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients like artisan bread, fresh pesto, and creamy Brie.
- Adjust the amount of sun-dried peppers to suit your taste.
- If you prefer, you can swap Brie with another soft cheese like Havarti or mozzarella.
