    🔪 How to Make Brie Grilled Cheese with Bacon

    sourdough brie grilled cheese with bacon being made

    1. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread butter on one slice of bread. Set the bread, butter side down on a plate. Top with brie, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Spread butter on another slice of bread, and set that on the cheddar cheese, butter side up.

    2. Cook: Set a skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, add your sandwich. Cook until the bread is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until it's golden brown.

    👩‍🍳Tips

    Cooking bacon in the oven is much easier than on the skillet. Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon slices on it, don't overlap the bacon. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.

    You can eat the rind, it's safe to eat, but since we are using this brie for grilled cheese, you will want to remove it.
