Serves:
2
Preparation Time:
2 hours 10 minutes
Cooking Time:
10 minutes
Total Time:
2 hours 20 minutes

Step 1: You will need

  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 small red chilli, chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 4 thick slices of wholemeal bread
  • 50 g brie cheese, cut into slices
  • 18 basil leaves
  • 25 g butter
  • 1 shallow dish
  • 1 pastry brush
  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 plate
  • 1 weight, a tin can will do
  • 1 spatula

Step 2: Marinate the tomatoes

Into the shallow dish, add the olive oil, garlic, and chilli. Season with salt and pepper. Stir, and then add the tomato slices. Turn the tomatoes so they are coated in the oil and leave to marinate for two hours.

Step 3: Make the sandwich

Brush one side of the bread with some oil from the tomatoes. Place the cheese evenly on the oiled side of the bread. Top with the basil leaves, then add a layer of tomatoes and finally a second slice of bread, oiled-side down.

Step 4: Toast the sandwich

Place the frying pan on a medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the sandwich. Cover with a plate and weigh down with a tin can.

Cook the sandwich until golden brown (about 5 minutes.) Turn the sandwich and repeat for other side.

Step 5: Serve

Put the sandwich onto the chopping board and cut in half. Place on a plate and garnish with basil leaves and serve.
