Ingredients
For the strawberries:
- 16 ounces strawberries hulled and cut in half
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Pinch of salt
For the sandwiches:
- 8 slices sturdy sandwich bread
- 5 ounces brie sliced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 cup lightly packed baby arugula
- softened butter
Instructions
For the strawberries:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Add the strawberries to a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, honey and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with the salt. Toss to combine and spread in an even layer. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and the berries have released most of their juices. Let cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Cup of Yum
For the sandwiches:
- Heat a large griddle or a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Set 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Top each with some of the sliced brie, the roasted strawberries (using a slotted spoon to get rid of excess juices), the basil, arugula and finally another piece of bread. Spread some of the butter on the top and bottom of each sandwich.
- Transfer the assembled sandwiches to the heated griddle and cook, carefully flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
