Ingredients
Main Ingredients
4 slices bread
1/2 wheel Brie cheese, sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked crispy
1/2 apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 tbsp honey
Butter, for spreading
Instructions
Prepare the bread: Take 2 slices of bread and place Brie cheese evenly on one side of each slice.
Add bacon: Layer two slices of cooked crispy bacon on top of the Brie-covered side of each bread slice.
Layer apples: Arrange thinly sliced apples on top of the bacon for a sweet crunch.
Drizzle honey: Pour 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the apple slices to add sweetness.
Assemble sandwiches: Top each prepared slice with the remaining slices of bread to form two sandwiches.
Butter the outside: Spread butter on the outer sides of each sandwich to help achieve a golden crust when grilling.
Heat panini grill: Preheat the panini grill over medium heat until ready to cook.
Grill sandwiches: Place sandwiches on the grill and cook for 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the Brie has melted.
Serve: Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
For a healthier option, use whole grain bread and turkey bacon.
Replace Brie with another creamy cheese such as Camembert or Havarti if preferred.
Grilling time may vary depending on your panini press; watch closely to avoid burning.
Apples with a tart flavor such as Granny Smith contrast nicely with the sweet honey and creamy cheese.
Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a different flavor and less saturated fat.
