# Instructions:
01 -
Cook 2 slices turkey bacon until crisp. Thinly slice 2 oz Brie cheese and finely chop 1/4 tsp fresh thyme leaves. Gather all remaining ingredients for your Sweet & Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwich, ensuring everything is ready for assembly.
02 -
On one side of 1 slice artisan sourdough bread, spread 1 tsp whole grain Dijon mustard. Layer 3 oz thinly sliced roasted turkey breast evenly on top of the mustard-coated bread slice.
03 -
Evenly distribute the 2 oz thinly sliced Brie cheese over the turkey. On the other slice of artisan sourdough bread, spread 2 tbsp high-quality blackberry preserve, then sprinkle with 1/4 tsp fresh thyme leaves and 1 tbsp toasted chopped pecans.
04 -
Carefully place the preserve-covered bread slice on top of the Brie and turkey. Spread 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter evenly on the outside of both slices of your Sweet & Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwich.
05 -
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered sandwich in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the Brie cheese is beautifully melted and gooey.
06 -
Remove the sandwich from the heat. Carefully open and tuck in 1/4 cup fresh baby arugula and the 2 slices cooked crisp turkey bacon. Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Slice and enjoy your Sweet & Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwich immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, omit the turkey and turkey bacon, and consider adding roasted red peppers or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
02 -
This sandwich pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, or a cup of creamy tomato soup.
03 -
To save time, cook your turkey bacon in advance and store it in the fridge. Reheat briefly in the microwave or pan before assembling.
04 -
While sourdough is recommended, a good quality challah or brioche bread can also elevate the sweet notes in this sandwich.
