Serves/Makes:6

Ingredients

• 12 slices pumpernickel bread
• your favorite mustard (We like a French coarse ground, white wine spiked mustard)
• 1 lb (.5 kg). thinly sliced smoked ham (quality is VERY important here)
• 1 lb (.5 kg). thinly sliced Brie cheese
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, softened to spead

Preparation

• Butter each slice of bread on one side only.
• Turn six slices of the bread on the buttered side to the preparation area.
• Spread those open sided slices of bread with the mustard.
• Next, layer with the ham and Brie.
• Spread the other six slices of bread with mustard on the unbuttered side.
• Place these slices mustard side down on top of the ham and brie.
• Heat a skillet, electric frying pan or griddle to medium heat and grill sandwiches.
• When bottom is golden brown and the cheese beings to melt more (as brie is very soft to begin with), turn them over and grill to a light golden brown.
• Serve with slices of Apples and Pears lightly drizzled with chilled white wine.

Comments

EASILY increased or decreased as need of servings dictate. I have served these many times as dinner when it is just my husband and myself and we want to enjoy a tasty and simple meal.

This is an excellent sandwich to serve with the Spring Harvest of Fresh Asparagus!! The fruit, sandwich and asparagus is so delicious and a pretty spring presentation!
