Melted Brie and Ham Sandwich

This recipe proves that a sandwich can be much more than a simple midday meal. It takes a classic baguette and transforms it into a warm, gooey, and incredibly satisfying gourmet melt. The star of the show is the creamy Brie cheese, which melts beautifully, enveloping the other ingredients in its rich, decadent flavour.

The foundation of this sandwich is a bed of sweet, sautéed onions and red peppers. Cooking them down in olive oil brings out their natural sweetness, which provides a perfect contrast to the savoury ham and the earthy notes of the Brie. A touch of oregano adds a fragrant, Mediterranean-inspired aroma that ties everything together.

This is an ideal recipe for a quick yet elegant lunch or a light supper. It’s best served hot from the oven, so the cheese is perfectly melted and the bread is wonderfully crisp. For a slight variation, try using prosciutto instead of ham, or add a handful of rocket (arugula) leaves after toasting for a fresh, peppery bite.

Ingredients

  • Baguette
  • Sliced onion
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • Sliced ham
  • Ground pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Brie cheese
  • Oregano

Method

  1. Start by sautéing the sliced onion and pepper in a drizzle of olive oil. Let the onion turn golden and season with pepper and oregano. Do not add salt, as the cheese is salty enough.
  2. Slice the baguette open and place 2 slices of ham inside, followed by a little of the sautéed onion and pepper mixture, and top with the Brie cheese, cut into pieces.
  3. Place the open sandwich on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake or grill in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
