Ingredients

8 slices stone-milled rye artisan bread, about 1/2-inch thick
5 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup store-bought apple butter
1 pound sliced fresh roasted deli turkey
1/2 pound brie cheese, thickly sliced
1 bunch arugula, stems trimmed

Directions

Spread each of 4 slices of bread with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Now spread each with 1 tablespoon of the apple butter. Top each slice of bread with a couple of slices of turkey, cover that with 2 to 3 slices of brie (enough to cover the turkey), and finally, arrange 2 to 3 arugula leaves on top. Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and lay them, buttered sides down, over the cheese; press gently.

Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Add as many sandwiches as will comfortably fit (either 2 or 4) and cook 2 to 3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes to brown the bread. (Add another tablespoon of butter and cook the remaining sandwiches, if you need to.) Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.

Great Sandwhich
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Yum, that's a good sandwich. Being new to cooking, I found the ingredients a little hard to find, but even my bf loved this... sandwich. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, because the ingredients seemed a little odd, but wow! It turned out so delicious and packed with flavor. I've never had anything like this before. My bf even commented on how this tasted like restaurant quality. Now I'm contemplating on weather I should make this for an upcoming party. I know it'll be a hit. Great sandwich, and easy to make. I will be making this again.Read more
