Ingredients
  

Sandwich Base
  • 6 slices brioche bread thick cut
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
Cheese Filling
  • 6 oz Brie cheese sliced, rind removed if desired
  • 4 oz white cheddar shredded
Toppings
  • 3 tbsp honey plus more for drizzle
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves and sprigs
  • 1 pinch sea salt flakes

Equipment

  • Large Non-Stick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Butter knife

Method
 

  1. Butter one side of each slice of bread generously.
  2. On the un-buttered side, layer shredded cheddar, then Brie slices, then more cheddar. Top with thyme leaves.
  3. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread, buttered side facing out.
  4. Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches, covered, for 3-4 minutes until golden.
  5. Flip carefully. Drizzle honey onto the hot toasted top while the second side cooks.
  6. Cook until cheese is fully melted and bottom is golden brown.
  7. Stack sandwiches, drizzle with remaining honey, sprinkle with sea salt and fresh thyme sprigs.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

Using a lid while cooking is crucial to melt the Brie without burning the brioche bread.
