You can use any type of fruit spread or preserves in this sandwich: fig, peach, or whatever strikes your fancy. For an easy, delicious appetizer, quarter the sandwiches and serve on a platter with sliced, tart green apples.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons salted butter, softened
- 8 slices French bread, 1/4 inch thick
- 2-4 tablespoons all-fruit apricot spread or preserves, to taste
- 4 ounces havarti cheese, sliced
- 1 large avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat (or use an electric frying pan set on high). Butter four bread slices on one side only. Put slices, butter-side down, on a clean surface. Spread 1/2–1 tablespoon apricot fruit spread or preserves in a thin layer on each slice. Top with cheese and layer with avocado slices. Cover with remaining bread; butter tops.
- Place two sandwiches in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes, until bread is golden brown and cheese has begun to melt. Flip sandwiches over, pressing down slightly with a spatula. Continue cooking until golden brown. Serve immediately.
