Grilled Turkey, Brie, and Apple Butter Sandwich with Arugula image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 13m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices stone-milled rye artisan bread, about 1/2-inch thick
5 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup store-bought apple butter
1 pound sliced fresh roasted deli turkey
1/2 pound brie cheese, thickly sliced
1 bunch arugula, stems trimmed

Steps:

  • Spread each of 4 slices of bread with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Now spread each with 1 tablespoon of the apple butter. Top each slice of bread with a couple of slices of turkey, cover that with 2 to 3 slices of brie (enough to cover the turkey), and finally, arrange 2 to 3 arugula leaves on top. Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and lay them, buttered sides down, over the cheese; press gently.
  • Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Add as many sandwiches as will comfortably fit (either 2 or 4) and cook 2 to 3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes to brown the bread. (Add another tablespoon of butter and cook the remaining sandwiches, if you need to.) Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.

APPLE BUTTER QUICK BREAD



Apple Butter Quick Bread image

Apple butter gives this bread a deep autumnal flavor and helps keep it moist for several days after baking. Whole-wheat flour adds a bit of heartiness to the batter, which can be made using only one bowl and a whisk.

Categories     cakes, quick breads, dessert, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Nonstick cooking spray

Provided by Food Network

Time 3h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 envelope (1/4-ounce) dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg
1 cup warm milk (about 110 degrees F)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup rye flour
2 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Combine the yeast, sugar, melted butter, egg, and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Add the salt, rye flour, all-purpose flour, and caraway seeds. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then, beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl and climbs up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 5 1/2 by 9-inch baking pan.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and invert onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough several times. Tuck and roll so that any seams disappear into the dough and place in the prepared baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg lightly over the top of the dough. Bake until lightly brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to make quick work of the apples. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. However, this will take more time and effort.
  • Be sure to cook the apple butter until it is thick and jammy. This will help it to hold its shape when it is baked into the bread.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place. This will help it to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Apple butter rye bread is a delicious and unique bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
