Fig and Brie Panini

When the brie melts to a thick cream and becomes highly fragrant and the figs are reduced to a gooey jam-like consistency, there is pleasure in every bite. An unlikely but happy marriage of flavors occurs in this panini.

Fig and Brie Panini Recipe

1 serving

2 slices multi-grain bread
A handful baby arugula
2 ounces brie, cubed
2 fresh figs, peeled and quartered
A drizzle of honey (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preheat the panini press.

Place the arugula on a slice of bread. Top with the brie and figs. Drizzle with some honey. Top with the other slice of bread. Brush the outside of the sandwich bread with olive oil. Grill in the Panini press for 2 to 3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melted.

    I usually don't see figs until late summer around here (and they're shipped from CA). But oh how this entices. This is on my "to-do" list as soon as I see a fresh fig. Beautiful photos!

    Fig and brie sandwiches are one of my absolute favorites after cranberry sauce and brie. They are just dreamy.

    Oh, Nisrine, this looks like heaven on a plate! Brie and figs are such a winning combination … made that much better when they're all melty and wonderful!

    The combination of figs and brie in a panini really speaks to me. It would be soooooo good. I've got brie and a panini press, I guess I just need to get my hands on some figs… That can be quite a task around these parts :(
