Brie, Avocado and Mustard Melts image

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!

Time 20m

Yield 4 melts

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.
