Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Bacon
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 4 tablespoons Fig jam
- 8 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Arugula (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the brie cheese into thin pieces to make it easier to layer on the sandwiches later.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
On the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of fig jam evenly.
Add 2 slices of crispy bacon on top of the fig jam for each sandwich.
Layer slices of brie cheese over the bacon to cover the bread, and optionally, add a handful of arugula for a fresh, peppery taste.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the brie is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press the sandwiches gently with a spatula for even toasting.
Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting them in half and serving.
