Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 ounces brie, sliced thinly
  • 4 ounces roast turkey, sliced or shredded
  • 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce
  • 2 slices crispy cooked bacon
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread to ensure a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread half of the sliced brie cheese evenly. Layer the roast turkey atop the cheese, then add the cranberry sauce for a sweet and tart flavor. Follow with the crispy bacon slices, sliced avocado, and the remaining brie cheese. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
  3. Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich onto the skillet and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.
  4. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Use bread of your choice; sourdough or artisan bread works well for extra flavor.
  • Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the turkey and bacon and consider adding extra veggies like tomato or spinach.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to restore crispiness.
