Pure heaven – that’s what this one is! We only serve it at breakfast for company – I honestly don’t know why. We want to make guests feel special, but I say I’m special too. Add to that that this is about as EASY as it gets and there really is no reason we don’t have it more often.
We first experienced this sandwich at some obscure restaurant eight years ago and cannot for our lives remember where the hell it was. Then we had a baguette sandwich promotional explosion in our company and we had to include this. Only problem was – was it had no name. John solved the problem immediately and decisively – the woman who assembled all the sandwiches – her name was …….. you guessed it Sabrina! And a star was born!
The key to the heavenly goodness is the bread. You must be sure to get the BEST, CRUSTIEST loaf of French bread possible. From there it’s SIMPLE!
Sabrina
1 Good Loaf of CRUSTY French Bread – cut open
Drizzle the inside (top and bottom) with honey
Sprinkle on plenty of Toasted Almonds
Place slices of Brie at an angle
Put on the top/lid
Optional to wrap in foil and or place on a sheet pan
Bake at 400°-425° until Brie is just starting to melt
Slice and serve.
Mary and John made this for us when we were visiting them in Chicago….we love it and seem to only make it on special occasions too……
Looks so delicious and simple, the hardest part is finding good bread
It’s one of the delights of visiting Chicago! I LOVE it and never make it at home either! It’s a Chicago Treat!
Mmmmmm brie with honey and toasted almonds… mmmmm…. yes please🙂
This is so kick-ass delicious and decadent for breakfast. I say I’m special, too (not like special olympics, special, but special in other ways…okay, sometimes special olympics special, I cannot tell a lie) so I’m making this for breakfast when I go on my retreat.
I love this sandwich. Hope to be a guess at your house or home one day.
Wow that sounds delicious! I love brie
Simple is often better!! I want one big bite NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Figtreeapps
Oh wow, that looks amazing! Can I pack that into my lunch right now?!🙂
Gosh, that looks awesome. Brie and honey? I’m thinking it would be awesome with some thin slices of apple.
If you fed me like that, I’d come and live with you🙂
Yummm!
I just had this in Spain with Iberico ham. I’m crying a little bit right now because I want to go back.
Oh Spain is John’s and my FAVORITE country! Now you’ve got me crying!

I received an Iberican ham for Christmas last year. A whole one. A giant one. It was the best Christmas since 1980 when I received an electric race car set.
honey and cheese on a crusty bread..YUM! I like the name you gave it, Sabrina, reminds me of Audrey Hepburn🙂
Some sliced apples would make it just right for me.
simple is best for sandwiches and I am in❤❤ with this one! I am thinking some fig jar too for a bit o extra flavor. Thanks for showing me a new food and your pics are crystal clear🙂
Soft brie, crunchy almonds, good French bread… nothing short of perfect!
Did you say melted Brie? Love it!
Who wouldn’t love this!
There is something about Brie in a crusty loaf that just makes any sandwich a true temptation!
And it looks like I found another sandwich to make for lunch! Thank you!🙂
Made a fresh French bread (using egg whites in the dough for extra crusty outside and soft inside). Got some honeycrisp apples on the side too. Livin’ large.
Yeah what Patty said – Honeycrisp apples are our favorite AND Foodo NEEDS a French bread posto!
Ooooooh, that sounds wonderful! I LOVE Honeycrisp apples!!! Great combination!!!
I need your recipe for crusty French Bread, please! Your next Foodo post, perhaps?
I must make this sandwich because it’s my name! I’m Sabrina!!!!
