GRILLED BRIE AND ONION SANDWICHES

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (250 g) brie cheese
  • 6 slices sweet onion, 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 oil-packed dried tomato halves, patted dry and slivered
  • 6 large slices sourdough bread, 1/2 inch thick
  • Softened butter*

Directions

  1. For easier slicing, place brie in freezer for 30 minutes. Thinly slice brie.
  2. Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
  3. Brush both sides of onion slices with oil. Grill onions directly on grid or on a grill topper until slightly blackened and tender, about 6 - 7 minutes per side. Separate onion slices into rings.
  4. To prepare sandwiches, layer onions, brie and tomatoes on slices of bread. Top with remaining 3 slices of bread. Spread butter lightly over both sides of each sandwich. Grill sandwiches in a toaster basket or directly on grid until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted.
