Instructions

1

Prepare the Bread

Spread the Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Pro tip: For a milder flavour, use half the amount of mustard.

2

Assemble the Sandwich

Layer the prosciutto, brie, and arugula on two slices of bread, mustard side up.

Pro tip: Ensure the cheese covers the meat and greens for even melting.

3

Top the Sandwich

Place the remaining bread slices on top, mustard side down.

4

Butter the Bread

Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich.

Pro tip: This will help create a crispy, golden crust when grilled.

5

Grill the Sandwich

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for about 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the brie is melted.

Pro tip: Press gently with a spatula for even browning.

6

Serve

Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Use a serrated knife for clean cuts.
