"I was scrounging around in the fridge, looking for something interesting to make lunch one Saturday. I found a VERY ripe avocado, some left-over brie and a bit of mustard........put them together, grilled them and was surprised at the gourmet result of a lunch made from leftovers!"

Ready In:: 20mins
Ingredients:: 6
Yields:: 4 melts

ingredients

1 ripe avocado
60 g brie cheese (about half a small round)
2 tablespoons of mild mustard
4 slices bread, of your choice
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

directions

Turn on oven grill element/broiler.
Cut avocado in half.
Slice brie into thin slices.
When grill /broiler is heated, place bread under and toast one side.
Turn bread over and grill/broil until other side is just beginning to toast.
Take bread out and spread lightly toasted side thinly with mustard.
Spread 1/4 avocado flesh onto each slice of bread - it will be thick, but that's OK!
Cover all the bread with avocado, so it doesn't burn when it goes back under the grill/broiler.
Season with salt, pepper or other seasonings to taste.
Arrange brie slices over avocado.
Put back under grill/broiler until brie is melting and has started to brown (unti I made this, I didn't know brie COULD brown!).
Serve at once, while hot.

I made these last night and they are fabulous. Can you believe I forgot the mustard? I added a little extra salt, and they were gone in a flash!

These were heavenly! Avocado and brie both have such mild flavors so one does not compete with the other. Had people asking me for the recipe. These are definitely a great snack for an outdoor appetizer party or a spring brunch.

Definately 5 stars plus - I served these on New Years Eve as one of several appetizers - They got rave reviews. I sprinkled a little paprika on some of them just for color. Lovely blend of flavors Thanks for posting the recipe Sussan
