Fig & Brie Melt
with pear & walnut salad

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
This meal features two delicious fall fruits - figs and pears. If you've never eaten fresh figs, you're going to fall in love. Their season is short so hopefully you can find them. If not, we offer a substitution using apples and jam or dried figs.

Make

  1. Butter one side of each piece of bread with about 1/2 Tbsp (7 g) of butter each. Lay out bread buttered-side down. Layer with cheese, figs (or apples and jam), cheese and top with bread, buttered-side up. Continue until all sandwiches are made.
  2. Heat up a griddle or a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches onto heated surface (as many as can fit) and press down throughout the grilling process with a spatula. Flip once the first side is golden, ~ 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. When grilled cheeses are all done, toss vinaigrette with shallots, pears, spinach, and walnuts. Enjoy sandwiches with salad!
