Tips for Making Brie and Leek Sandwiches

- Use day-old bread for the best texture. Fresh bread will be too soft and may fall apart when you assemble the sandwiches. - Slice the brie cheese thinly so that it melts evenly. - Cook the leeks until they are soft and caramelized. This will bring out their sweetness and flavor. - Use a good quality mayonnaise. A homemade mayonnaise will have a richer flavor than a store-bought mayonnaise. - Add some fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, to the mayonnaise for extra flavor. - Serve the sandwiches warm or at room temperature.
