Apple, Fig and Brie Open Face Sandwich
INGREDIENTS
4 ciabatta buns or slices of sourdough bread, preferably a sturdy bread
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces brie, cut into thin slices
1 medium honeycrisp apple, peeled, cored, and cut into thin slices
1/3 cup walnuts halves
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp coconut oil, divided
1/4 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp fig jam
Arugula, to garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Butter the four slices of bread and layer each slice with brie cheese. Set aside.
Warm a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp of coconut oil to the skillet. Next, arrange the apple slices in the skillet and add maple syrup and cinnamon. Sauté the apples until they become tender and golden brown but be careful not to overcook them, you do not want them to become mushy. Ideally a light caramelization is what you’re looking to achieve. Remove from heat.
In the same skillet, add the remaining coconut oil and walnut halves. Tossing frequently, gently toast the walnuts. Remove from heat.
Now that the toppings are ready, place the brie layered bread in the oven to melt, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Once melted and golden brown, remove from heat and layer each with some spiced apple, toasted walnuts, and a tsp of fig jam. I like to put the open-face sandwich in the oven to broil for a minute to get everything nice and toasty. Remove from the oven and top with some fresh arugula.
Enjoy!
