Brie Apple Honey Christmas Candle (Printable)

A festive twist featuring creamy Brie, crisp apples, and honey in a grilled cheese style.

# Ingredient list:

→ Bread

01 - 4 slices sourdough or brioche bread

→ Cheese & Filling

02 - 120 grams Brie cheese, sliced
03 - 1 small crisp apple (e.g., Granny Smith), thinly sliced
04 - 2 tablespoons honey

→ Butter

05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

→ Garnish (optional)

06 - 2 small strips roasted red bell pepper (for flame)
07 - 2 thin chive stems (for wick)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for grilling.
02 - Lightly butter one side of each bread slice evenly.
03 - Place two bread slices buttered side down on a clean surface. Layer evenly with Brie slices, then apple slices, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over each.
04 - Top each with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, pressing gently to ensure even contact.
05 - Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and cheese fully melts, pressing gently with a spatula to seal.
06 - Trim sandwich edges for a clean rectangular shape, then stand each upright. Use roasted red bell pepper strips as flames and chive stems as wicks to mimic Christmas candles.
07 - Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy immediately.
