Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 3 ounces (85 grams) brie cheese, sliced
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Spread Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) butter
Instructions
- Warm a heavy-bottomed skillet to a medium temperature, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Generously coat one exterior surface of each sourdough slice with softened butter, creating a crisp golden foundation.
- Construct a luxurious sandwich layer by arranging delicate brie cheese slices, crispy bacon strips, and sharp cheddar cheese between the buttered bread surfaces.
- Carefully transfer the assembled sandwich into the preheated skillet, positioning the buttered exterior downward to achieve maximum caramelization.
- Allow the sandwich to sizzle and transform, monitoring the bread’s color and cheese’s melting progress, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Gently press the sandwich with a spatula to encourage even browning and cheese melding.
- Once the bread reaches a rich golden-brown hue and the cheeses become gloriously molten, remove from heat.
- Transfer to a cutting board and slice diagonally, revealing the gooey, decadent interior.
- Serve immediately while the cheese remains gloriously warm and stretchy, capturing the sandwich’s peak textural perfection.
Notes
- Select a tangy sourdough bread with robust flavor to complement the rich cheeses and crispy bacon.
- Slice brie thinly and let it sit at room temperature for easier melting and smoother texture.
- Use high-quality thick-cut bacon for maximum crunch and smoky flavor enhancement.
- Moderate heat prevents burning and ensures even golden-brown caramelization on bread surfaces.
