Grilled Brie Pear and Bacon Sandwich with Fig Preserves

Grilled Brie Pear and Bacon Sandwich with Fig Preserves. August 30, 2023.

Autumn is not here, but I confess to having purchased a pumpkin spice latte already. My office is also heaped with autumn decor out and ready to go. My notebook is full of autumnal ideas. And today my food is autumn themed as well. A grown up grilled cheesed is just the thing to use ingredients such as pears, brie cheese and fig preserves. Topped with crispy bacon to make it savory, this grilled brie pear and bacon sandwich is perfect! I love the way the flavors come together and the cheese oozes out of the sandwhich and is grilled to the bread- yum! And just so you know, you may have some fig preserves dribbling down your chin….

Print Recipe

Ingredients

• Rustic whole grain bread
• Brie cheese
• Pear slices
• Cooked bacon slices My favorite method of cooking bacon is on parchment paper in the oven on low broil!
• Fig preserves
• Butter

Instructions

• Butter one side each of 2 slices of bread.
  
• On the butterless side of one slice spread fig preserves.
• Add pear slices, brie cheese and 2 slices of bacon.
  
• Grilled in a skillet over medium- medium low heat. This will give the cheese time to melt while the outside browns nicely.
• Enjoy sandwich!
  

Notes

*White cheddar is also good with this!

Have a beautiful day!
