Apple And Brie Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples; cook and stir until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and pecans and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven's broiler.
• Cut the slices of bread in half if they are very large and toast lightly. Spread the remaining butter on to one side of each piece of bread. Place two slices of brie cheese onto the unbuttered side of each piece of bread. Top with a generous scoop of the apple mixture. Place the open face sandwiches onto a baking sheet.
• Broil until the cheese has melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a panini press to medium-high heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Butter 1 side of each slice of bread. Flip 1 slice and spread mustard on top; add cheese. Place apple slices on the cheese. Lay bacon on top. Cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side-up.
• Place sandwich into the panini press and press down. Grill until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Cut the top rind off the brie and place in the microwave on high for 60 seconds. Depending on the ripeness of the cheese, it will take 60 to 90 seconds on high to heat and melt. If brie is not yet soft and hot after 1 minute, place it back in microwave for another 30 seconds on high.
• Serve the softened, warm brie with a platter of fruit and Melba toasts for dipping and spreading. Reheat brie if it tightens up for 20 to 30 seconds at a time on high.
