Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 ounces Brie cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fig jam
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 1 cup Arugula
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 2
Place the prosciutto slices in the skillet and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 4
Lay two slices, butter side down, on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of fig jam on the unbuttered side of each slice.
Step 5
Top the jam with 3 ounces of brie cheese per slice, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Add 2 slices of crispy prosciutto and a handful of arugula to each sandwich.
Step 7
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, butter side up.
Step 8
Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and crisp.
Step 9
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the brie melts completely.
Step 10
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
