Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 150 grams Brie cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cranberry sauce
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or panini press over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
Step 3
Slice the Brie cheese into thin slices for easier melting and even distribution.
Step 4
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. The buttered side will go on the outside when building the panini.
Step 5
Spread 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
Step 6
Layer the slices of Brie cheese evenly on top of the cranberry sauce.
Step 7
Add two slices of cooked bacon on top of the Brie for each sandwich.
Step 8
Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered sides facing outward.
Step 9
Place the sandwiches into the heated skillet or panini press. If using a skillet, press down gently using a spatula or another pan to achieve the panini effect.
Step 10
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side (or until golden brown and crisp) if using a skillet, or 5–7 minutes total in a panini press.
Step 11
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing in half to serve.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy!
