Ingredients
2 slices rustic como bread
2 oz. aioli
2 oz. Brie, sliced
1 oz. Asiago cheese, grated
1/2 fresh California avocado, sliced
2 slices tomato
1 tsp. olive oil
Steps
- Preheat grill pan in oven to 350°F. Spread aioli on each slice of bread. Top one slice with sliced Brie and the other slice with grated Asiago.
- Drizzle olive oil on grill pan or sheet pan; place bread slices on top.
- Grill or toast until cheese melts. Place tomato slices and avocado slices on bread slices and press together to create the sandwich. Cut in half and serve.
