Ingredients

  • Fresh grain bread sliced into 1-inch slices
  • Arugula
  • Ripe Bartlett pears can substitute apples
  • Sliced Gouda or Brie
  • Orange blossom honey
  • Walnuts can substitute pistachios
  • Maldon sea salt flakes or kosher salt

Instructions

USING GOUDA 

  • Cover the bread with thinly sliced pears or apples. 
  • Add the thin slices of Gouda cheese. 
  • Scatter a few arugula leaves. 
  • Drizzle with orange blossom honey. 
  • Add the crumbled walnuts (if you are using pistachios and they are salted, omit the sea salt flakes). 
  • Sprinkle a pinch of Maldon salt flakes on top. 

USING BRIE

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. 
  • Slice the bread and lay it on a baking sheet, or toast it lightly in a toaster. Add the slices of Brie and bake for approximately five minutes, until the bread has a very light brown toast color to it and the Brie is slightly melted. Top the Brie with pear slices or apples. 
  • Drizzle with orange blossom honey, or whatever honey you have on hand. Sprinkle with crumbled walnuts or pistachios. 
  • Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and top with a few scattered arugula leaves. 
  • Devour immediately. And repeat.
