This scrumptious toasted Le Rustique Camembert sandwich makes a great comforting supper for two. The dish uses mature Camembert which is very creamy and soft and has a pronounced flavour. A smoked tomato chutney also works well with this toastie if you are looking for a bit of extra flavour!
-
1 Le Rustique Camembert 250 g
-
4 slices of thick Sourdough Bread
-
1 tbsp soft salted Butter for spreading

- Build the toastie by layering on the prosciutto, half the sliced Le Rustique Camembert, fig slices, basil leaves and top with watercress.
- Season and layer on the rest of the Le Rustique Camembert (you may not want to use all the cheese – it depends how cheesy you want it!). Top with the other slice of bread, butter side down.

-
Finish cooking in the oven at 160 for a further 5–10 mins or until the cheese has melted.
