# Instructions:
01 -
To begin your Sweet & Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwich, cook 3 slices turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
02 -
Spread 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter evenly on one side of each of the 2 slices sourdough bread. Slice 2 oz Brie cheese into thin, even pieces, ensuring you have enough to cover one side of the bread.
03 -
On the unbuttered side of one slice of sourdough bread, spread 1 tbsp blackberry preserves. Arrange the sliced Brie cheese on top of the preserves, covering the entire surface of the bread.
04 -
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich, butter-side down, in the hot pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the Brie cheese is melted and gooey.
05 -
Carefully open the grilled sandwich. Layer 1/4 cup fresh blackberries, 1/4 cup fresh arugula, and the 3 slices cooked turkey bacon onto the melted Brie. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves to complete this Sweet & Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwich.
06 -
Close the sandwich. Drizzle the top with 1 tsp balsamic glaze. Season with a pinch of sea salt and a pinch of black pepper. Slice the Sweet & Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwich in half and serve immediately for the best experience.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the sourdough bread before assembling if you prefer a crispier base.
02 -
If fresh blackberries are out of season, frozen blackberries can be used, just ensure they are thawed and patted dry to prevent excess moisture.
03 -
Feel free to substitute blackberry preserves with fig jam or raspberry preserves for a slightly different, but equally delicious, sweet and tangy profile.
04 -
This sandwich pairs wonderfully with a light green salad or a cup of tomato soup for a complete meal.
