BACON BRIE GRILLED CHEESE



Bacon Brie Grilled Cheese image

Old-school grilled cheese has its place, but my version stacks spinach, apple and Brie on pumpernickel. For a more compact sandwich, press a heavy pan on it while toasting. -George Wilkins, Mays Landing, New Jersey

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 slices thick-cut bacon
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 yellow onion, sliced thin
3 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
2 thick slices hearty multi-grain bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
3 ounces grated white Cheddar
1/2 Granny Smith apple, sliced
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • In an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Tear in half and set aside.
  • Into the same skillet, add the brown sugar, onions and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook, stirring as needed, until the onions are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Build the grilled cheese by spreading one piece of bread with the mayonnaise. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese on top, followed by the onions. Place the apple slices and bacon on top of the onions, then add the rest of the cheese. Spread the other slice of bread with the mustard and put it mustard-side down on top of the cheese. Spread the outside of the top bread slice with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Transfer the sandwich to the skillet over medium-low heat, butter-side down. Spread the top of the sandwich with the remaining tablespoon butter. Toast each side of the sandwich until golden on the outside and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut in half and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bread. A good grilled cheese sandwich starts with good bread. Look for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the melted cheese and fillings without getting soggy.
  • Butter the bread. Buttering the bread helps it to brown and crisp up nicely.
  • Use a good cheese. The cheese is the star of the show in a grilled cheese sandwich, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Brie is a great choice for a grilled cheese sandwich because it has a creamy, gooey texture and a mild flavor that pairs well with bacon and other ingredients.
  • Add your favorite toppings. In addition to bacon and brie, there are many other ingredients that you can add to your grilled cheese sandwich. Some popular options include sliced tomatoes, avocado, and arugula.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat. Cooking the sandwich over medium heat helps to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from becoming too runny.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. A grilled cheese sandwich is best served immediately after it's made, while the cheese is still melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

The bacon brie grilled cheese sandwich is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always delicious. With its crispy bread, melted cheese, and savory bacon, this sandwich is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
