  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 slices of sourdough bread
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, thinly sliced
  • 8 slices crispy bacon
  • 1 large pear, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients (5 minutes):
    • Cook the bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
    • Thinly slice the brie cheese and the pear.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches (5 minutes):
    • Lay out the sourdough bread slices. On four slices, arrange a layer of brie cheese.
    • Top the brie with 2 slices of crispy bacon on each sandwich.
    • Add a layer of thinly sliced pear over the bacon.
    • Top with another layer of brie cheese.
    • Place the remaining slices of sourdough bread on top to complete the sandwiches.
  3. Butter the bread (2 minutes):
    • Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outside of each sandwich (both top and bottom slices).
  4. Toast the sandwiches (10 minutes):
    • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the brie is melty, about 3-5 minutes per side.
    • Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting and melting.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.

For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of arugula inside the sandwich before toasting.

Pair this with...

Kale Chips with Chili Flakes

Start by selecting a fresh bunch of kale, washing and thoroughly drying the leaves. Tear them into chip-sized pieces, discarding the tough central stems. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the kale with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Sprinkle in those fiery chili flakes, adjusting to your heat preference. Give everything a good toss to distribute the flavors evenly. Lay out the seasoned kale pieces on a baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overlapping. Into a preheated oven they go, baking until they're crisp, yet still vibrant in color. Once out, they'll continue to crisp up a touch more.

Fresh Fruit Salad

Start by gathering blueberries, kiwi slices, juicy orange segments, ripe strawberries, plump red grapes, sweet mango cubes, or whatever fruit you have on hand! Give everything a gentle mix in a large bowl. For a zesty twist, drizzle with a bit of fresh lime or lemon juice. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh mint or a hint of honey to enhance the natural sweetness of the fruits. Serve chilled.

Leafy Greens Side Salad

Kick things off with a bed of your favorite mixed greens—whether it's spinach, arugula, romaine, or a combination of all. Next, layer on thinly sliced red onion, adding a sharp and colorful zing. Slice a cucumber into neat rounds, offering cool and refreshing bites throughout the salad. Halve some juicy cherry tomatoes and scatter them in, lending their sweet-tart bursts. Finally, dot the salad with pitted green olives, introducing a briny depth. For dressing, a simple vinaigrette made of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper does wonders. Drizzle it over the salad, toss everything gently, and serve.
