Blackberry Brie Sandwich

Summer in a sandwich: this lemony, honey-drizzled blackberry brie sandwich will make you want to spend the entirety of the hot months having picnics on your lawn and sipping champagne.

Let's kick this post off with a little food porn, eh?

I don't even know why this sandwich makes me feel so damn fancy.

Oh, but it does.

You will need these things.

When the thermostat hits 100 in South Carolina, it's time to give up any meal that requires a heat source, if even for one night.  You deserve a break, and your oven and HVAC unit will thank you. We could all use a little less heat in the house.

This is how you make a sandwich.

So take it easy tonight.  Run by the store and grab some fresh produce, crusty bread, and brie.

Ahhhhhhh yes, the brie.  My favorite type of cheese, and y'all, let me tell you, I could go on for HOURS about all kinds of brie, but for this recipe ... just use the cheap stuff.

That's right: the cheap stuff. Get the cheapest cheap brie you can find.  It's okay. I won't tell, if you won't.

Someone took a bite of a "leftover" piece of brie. Like there's ever any leftover brie.

Usually I believe brie should be like a fragrant butter -- creamy, silky, SPREADABLE.  For this gem of a picnic sandwich though, I kinda like the sliced brie.  Although now that I'm thinking about it ... perhaps it would be just lovely to try it with the fancy $38/lb stuff sometime ( and if you're rollin' like that then more power to you and go for it! )

Drizzle that honey, honey.

But seriously, for now, let's just go with sliced brie.  Simple, mild, creamy.

Get in my mouth.

Oh yeah, and drizzled with honey. Delicious, delicious local honey.  A simple but delicious meal for eating out on the porch in 100 degree heat with some nearly ice cold inexpensive champagne, a good book, and two cats who where sure they liked brie, but turned their noses at it when tossed a few pieces.
