A sophisticated twist on the usual grilled fare, this slightly savory sandwich will become a favorite.
Ingredients
8 slices Artisan French Bread, cut 1/2 inch thick
1-1/2 tablespoons Sweet Cream Butter, softened
3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Classic Pesto
4 ounces Primo Taglio Brie, thinly sliced
1 cup lightly packed baby spinach leaves
8 to 12 ounces Roasted Chicken Breast, sliced
2/3 cup thinly sliced tomatoes
Instructions
1. Spread one side of 4 slices of bread with half the butter. Place
bread, buttered side down, on cutting board.
2. Combine mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl. Spread onto unbuttered
side of 4 slices of buttered bread, about 1 1/2 tablespoons on each. Layer
brie, spinach, chicken, and tomatoes on bread.
3. Preheat a lightly oiled two-sided grill for 5 to 6 minutes until hot,
or place a griddle pan or a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium
heat. Meanwhile, butter remaining bread slices; place slices buttered side
up on top of sandwich filling.
4. Place sandwiches on grill and close lid. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until
sandwiches are golden brown. Or if cooking in griddle or frying pan, place
sandwiches in pan, buttered side down. Cook, pressing down occasionally
with spatula, until golden brown on bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn
sandwiches over and continue to cook until golden on other side, about 3
to 5 more minutes. Cut sandwiches into halves to serve.
