• 1 pinch Salt

7. To assemble the sandwiches, lightly butter one side of 8 slices of bread and place each one butter-side down on a work surface.
8. Spread Nutella on 4 slices of bread.
9. On the remaining 4 pieces of bread, evenly distribute the slices of brie first, followed by desired amount of roasted strawberries.

12. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan and turn to coat the bottom of the pan.
13. Place the sandwiches in the pan and lightly press down with a spatula.
14. Cover the pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
