Toasted Ham, Brie, and Apple Sandwiches
INGREDIENTS
1 large baguette, cut into fourths or 8 slices rye bread
7 ounces Brie cheese, thinly sliced
1 ½ New York State Crispin apples, cored and thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
¾ lb deli ham, sliced into ½ inch strips
2 tbsp whole grain mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp fresh black pepper
(Optional) 2 strips cooked bacon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Slice baguette pieces lengthwise and top one half with brie slices and the other with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper on top. Bake for 5 minutes on a tin foil-lined baking sheet, or until cheese melts and beings to brown.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium sauté pan. Add the apples and cook until apples begin to soften and color (about 6 minutes), stirring every 2 minutes.
- Add ham, whole grain mustard, honey, and thyme to apples and toss until ingredients are well incorporated and thoroughly warmed.
- Divide ham and apple mixture evenly onto toasted baguettes and top with a slice of cooked bacon if desired. Serve warm with a refreshing glass of New York apple cider!
