# Instructions:
01 -
Thinly slice 4 oz brie cheese and 1/4 cup red onion. Wash 1/2 cup fresh blackberries and 1 cup baby arugula. This initial prep ensures a smooth assembly for your Sweet, Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwiches.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 slices turkey bacon and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Keep the skillet warm for toasting the sandwiches.
03 -
Spread 1 tbsp unsalted butter evenly on one side of each of the 4 slices sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer 6 oz deli-sliced roasted turkey breast, then the sliced 4 oz brie cheese, and finally the cooked 4 slices turkey bacon.
04 -
Distribute 1/2 cup fresh blackberries over the brie and bacon layers. Drizzle 2 tsp honey over the blackberries. Top with the remaining two slices of sourdough bread, butter-side out. These sweet additions are key to the Sweet, Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwiches.
05 -
Place the assembled sandwiches in the warm skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the sourdough bread is golden brown and the 4 oz brie cheese is melted and gooey. Press gently with a spatula.
06 -
Remove sandwiches from the skillet. Open each sandwich and add 1 cup baby arugula and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle with 2 tsp balsamic glaze. Season with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste.
07 -
Carefully slice each Sweet, Savory Blackberry Brie Turkey Bacon Sandwich in half diagonally. Serve immediately while warm, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. This ensures the best experience for your gourmet creation.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy turkey bacon, press it down with a spatula while cooking. This helps render the fat and achieve a perfect crunch.
02 -
No sourdough? Ciabatta or a hearty whole wheat bread would also work wonderfully. You can also swap blackberries for raspberries or fig jam for a different sweet note.
03 -
These sandwiches are fantastic on their own, but a side of sweet potato fries or a light green salad with a vinaigrette would complement them perfectly.
04 -
These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store components separately and assemble just before reheating for optimal texture.
