How to Make Brie Grilled Cheese

Two slices of bread topped with Brie cheese and crispy bacon, ready for sandwich assembly.

Step One: Lay out 2 slices of bread and divide the Brie cheese evenly, placing it on one side of each slice. Add 2 slices of cooked bacon on top of the Brie cheese on each slice of bread.

Step Three: Spread butter on the outer side of each sandwich to prepare them for grilling. Preheat a panini grill or skillet over medium heat.

Step Four: Place the sandwiches on the grill or pan and cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the Brie is melted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, slice each sandwich in half, and serve warm.

Brie Cheese Sandwich With Apples Recipe Tips

Choose the Right Bread: Use hearty, thick bread like sourdough or a baguette for the best texture when grilling. It will hold up well and provide a nice crunch.
Use Ripe Apples: For a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, choose firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. Thinly slicing the apples ensures they layer evenly and soften slightly while grilling.
Cook the Bacon to Your Liking: Whether you prefer it crispy or slightly chewy, cook the bacon to your desired texture before adding it to the sandwich.
Don’t Skip the Honey: A drizzle of honey adds a wonderful sweetness that complements the savory Brie and salty bacon, enhancing the sandwich’s flavor.
Grill Until Golden Brown: Be sure to grill the sandwich until both sides are golden and crispy, and the Brie cheese is melted inside. This gives you that deliciously warm, gooey texture.
Add a Twist: For extra flavor, try adding a handful of arugula or spinach for a peppery crunch, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on the apples for a touch of warmth.

Storing

Storing: To store leftover sandwiches, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. The bread may lose some crispness, but the sandwich will still taste great.
Freezing: If you want to freeze the sandwiches, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 1 month, but be aware that the texture of the bread may change after freezing and reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, place the sandwich in a skillet or on a panini press over medium heat until the bread is golden and the Brie is melted. You can also reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore some crispiness.

What To Serve With Brie and Apple Sandwich

A Brie and Apple Sandwich pairs beautifully with a variety of sides that complement its creamy, sweet, and savory flavors. Consider serving it with a light green salad, such as arugula or mixed greens, dressed in a simple vinaigrette to balance the richness of the sandwich. Crispy roasted potatoes or sweet potato fries add a comforting touch, while a fruit salad with fresh berries or grapes enhances the sandwich’s apple component. For a more indulgent side, try pairing it with a bowl of tomato soup, perfect for dipping.

Brie Cheese Sandwich With Apples Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese in this sandwich? Yes! While Brie provides a creamy texture, you can substitute it with other soft cheeses like Camembert or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time? It’s best to enjoy this sandwich fresh, as the bread can lose its crispiness when stored. However, you can prep the ingredients ahead of time and assemble the sandwich when ready to eat.

Can I make this sandwich without bacon? Absolutely! For a vegetarian option, you can omit the bacon and add extra apple slices or even a layer of caramelized onions for more flavor.

What kind of bread should I use? You can use any type of bread, but a crusty bread like sourdough, baguette, or ciabatta works best to hold up the ingredients and provide a satisfying crunch.

Can I make this sandwich gluten-free? Yes, simply use your favorite gluten-free bread to make this sandwich gluten-free while still enjoying all the delicious flavors.

How can I make this sandwich spicier? If you prefer a spicy kick, try adding some arugula or a drizzle of spicy mustard along with the honey for a balance of sweet and heat.
