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.

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.
