Total Time: 16 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 6 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 teaspoons salted butter, at room temperature (real butter)
• 8 slices french bread, cut on an angle 1/4-inch thick
• 3 tablespoons raspberry jam or 3 tablespoons apricot jam
• 5 ounces ripe brie cheese (leave the slices at room temperature for easier spreading) or 5 ounces camembert cheese, rind removed, cheese sliced while cold (leave the slices at room temperature for easier spreading)

Recipe

• 1 butter all the bread slices on one side only. put them all, buttered side down, on a cutting board. spread four of the slices with a thin layer of jam (about 2 teaspoons per slice). spread the cheese on the other four slices. pair the jam slices with the cheese slices.
• 2 heat a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. put as many sandwiches as will fit in the pan or on the-griddle without crowding, cover and cook until the cheese has just begun to melt and the bread is golden brown, about 2 minutes. remove the lid and turn the sandwiches, pressing each one firmly with a spatula to flatten it slightly. cook the sandwiches uncovered until the bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute. turn them once more and press with the spatula again to recrisp the bread, about 30 seconds. cut the sandwiches in halves or quarters and serve immediately.
