Ingredients

10 oz Bacon* Cooked; I used Good Ranchers Pumpkin Spice Bacon
½ yellow onion thinly sliced and sautéed
8 slices bread- I like to use sourdough
4 tbs Butter softened to room temperature
8-12 slices of brie
1 apple thinly sliced, I use da Gala

Instructions

Cook bacon in a fry pan until cooked to your desired level of crispiness.
10 oz Bacon*
In bacon grease, or in a clean fry pan with 1 tbs butter, add sliced onions and cook on medium low heat for 5-10 minutes until soft and partially cooked.
½ yellow onion
Butter one side of each piece of bread. Place half of the bread butter-side down in a large skillet.
8 slices bread- I like to use sourdough, 4 tbs Butter
Lay 2-3 pieces of brie down, 4-6 thinly sliced pieces of apple, 2 halved pieces of cooked bacon, and some sautéed onions on each piece of bread. Then top with another slice of buttered bread, butter side up to complete the sandwich.
8-12 slices of brie, 1 apple
Heat pan with sandwich over medium-low heat. After 5-7 minutes, the bottom piece of bread should be browned, flip the sandwich to brown the other side. The second side will take less time, 2-5 minutes, since the pan will be hot.
Once both sides are browned, remove from pan and grill remaining sandwiches. These will take less time to brown since the pan is already hot, so keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
