MAKES 4 SANDWICHES
8 slices rye (or bread of choice)
8 slices brie cheese
2 small-medium Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy
4 tablespoons fig jam
4 leaves green leaf lettuce
Unsalted butter
On four slices of bread, divide cheese, apple slices, bacon, jam and lettuce. Top with remaining four slices of bread. Spread butter on top of each sandwich.
Preheat a panini grill to medium and place sandwiches on grill, buttered side down. Depending on the size of your panini grill, you may have to cook one or two sandwiches at a time. Spread additional butter on top and close grill lid. If you do not have a panini grill, you can do this in a grill pan or skillet. Cook until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Repeat as needed.
