Brie Grilled Cheese

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

4 slices Crusty Bread (French Bread, Sourdough, or other Artisan Bread)

1-2 tablespoons Butter, according to preference

4-6 slices Hickory Smoked Bacon, according to preference

2-4 ounces Brie Cheese, according to preference

4-5 tablespoons Raspberry Jam, according to preference

Directions

Cut the brie into thin slices, discarding the rind.

Cook the bacon strips until crispy.

Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the grease while you begin sandwich assembly.

Butter one side of each of the bread slices.

On the side without the butter, spread some of the jam.

Then, top with a quarter of the brie, half of the bacon, and a quarter of the brie. (Reserve the remaining brie, jam, and bacon for the second sandwich)

On the other slice of bread, spread more jam. Add that slice of bread on top of the slice with the cheese and bacon, placing the jam spread side towards the inside of the sandwich.

Repeat with remaining ingredients to assemble the second sandwich.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium low heat.

When the pan is hot, add the brie grilled cheese sandwiches, cooking until the side facing down is crispy and golden.

Then, flip and repeat with other side, cooking until the bread is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted.

Serve immediately.
