Le brie

Wandering through Surry Hills in the morning can be a dangerous game—especially after a workout. So many good sandwich spots just waiting to tempt you. Today, I gave in and picked up the brie baguette from Lavie & Belle.

Vego sandwiches aren’t usually my go-to, unless there’s soft cheese involved—bonus points if it comes with something sweet like jam or fruit. I’ve got a real soft spot for that combo.

And wow—this one made my morning. The baguette was fresh and chewy, exactly how it should be. The brie was creamy, rich, salty, and they didn’t hold back with the portion. The walnuts brought that earthy, buttery crunch, and the figs with onion compote added just the right amount of sweetness. I kinda wish there was a little more of that jammy layer—it paired so perfectly with the cheese.

Swear I even caught a hint of sultana in there, though it could’ve just been the fig. Either way, it worked.

A perfect little sandwich for crisp autumn mornings. Something about a good baguette with soft cheese always hits just right.
