Grilled Brie Pear and Bacon Sandwich with Fig Preserves

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

Autumn isn’t here, but I confess I’ve already bought a pumpkin spice latte. 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 cheese is the perfect way to use ingredients like pears, brie cheese, and fig preserves. Top it with crispy bacon to make it savory, and this grilled brie pear and bacon sandwich is perfect! I love the way the flavors come together, and the cheese oozes out of the sandwich and is grilled onto the bread- yum! And just so you know, you may have some fig preserves dribbling down your chin….

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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

Notes

*White cheddar is also good with this!

Have a beautiful day!
