Le Rustique Camembert, Fig And Basil Sourdough Toastie.
Happy Tuesday! Le Rustique Camembert, Fig and Basil Sourdough Toastie anyone?
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!

Ingredients:
- 4 slices of thick sourdough bread
- 1 tbsp soft salted butter for spreading

- Butter one side of the bread, season and lay butter side up.
- Slice the Le Rustique Camembert.
- Build the toastie by layering on the prosciutto, half the sliced Le Rustique Camembert, fig slices, basil leaves and top with watercress.
