I am having a sandwich obsession. It comes in the form of melty cheese with the sweet whisper of figs. It’s first incarnation included a rosemary boule bread from Firehook Bakery, though I’ve since moved on to Whole Foods Sesame Semolina (and their French brie, currently on megasale).

This is good.  This is comfort.

Grilled Cheese With Brie And Figs

ingredients:
2 slices good bread
enough brie for one layer of 1/4 inch slices
tablespoon of fig spread, or other tart-sweet preserves

the hows:

Heat up your indoor grill or panini press. Place brie on one slice of bread, and slather the other with your preserves (I imagine plum, or cranberry would also be lovely). Press cheese and preserves together and grill 3-4 minutes until bread is toasted and cheese begins to ooze. For really bad days, serve with tall glass of cold beer.
