- Preparation time: 15 mins
- Total time : 23-25 mins
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (400 g) focaccia bread, sliced horizontally
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 7 oz double cream Canadian brie, cut into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) cubes (about 1-1/2 cups/375 mL)
- 2 cups seeded, chopped Roma tomatoes, about 3 medium
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped, fresh basil, loosely packed
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Preheat barbecue 450°F (230°C). Brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter and the other side with Dijon mustard. Place one bread slice mustard-side-up on centre of a sheet of aluminum foil that is twice the length of the bread.
In medium bowl, gently combine Canadian Brie cheese, tomatoes, red onion, basil and pepper; spread mixture evenly on bread slice. Top with second bread slice, butter side up. Fold foil around bread and seal tightly.
Place foil package directly on hot grill. With lid closed, sear for 2 minutes each side. Turn burner under bread to low, leaving other burners at medium-high. With lid closed, grill 2 to 3 min more per side or until bread is toasted and cheese is melting. Let stand 5 min before opening package. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
