- 4 slices of sourdough or rustic bread
- 100 g Brie cheese sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh grapes sliced (red or green grapes work well)
- 1/4 cup walnuts roughly chopped
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tbsp butter for toasting
- Honey optional, for drizzling
Prepare the Sandwich: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side, layer slices of Brie, followed by the grapes, walnuts, and rosemary.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Toast the Sandwich: Heat a pan or sandwich press over medium heat.
Place the sandwich in the pan and toast for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Once toasted, remove the sandwich from the pan and slice.
Optionally, drizzle with a little honey for extra sweetness.
- If you prefer a more savory version, omit the honey drizzle.
- Try using a different nut, such as pecans or almonds, for variety.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free Brie and plant-based butter.
Tip: This toastie pairs wonderfully with a crisp white wine or a fresh side salad with citrus dressing.Keyword Brie cheese sandwich, crunchy walnut toastie, gourmet toastie, grapes Brie walnut sandwich, pressed sandwich, rosemary sandwich, sweet savory sandwich, unique sandwich recipes, vegetarian lunch ideas, vegetarian toastie
