Description

A mild blue cheese and brie combo elevates a classic BLT, melting over bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes for a flavorful summer sandwich.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 8 slices of bread
  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked
  • 8 thick slices of heirloom tomatoes
  • 8 slices of Saga Blue Brie
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Begin by combining the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
  2. Spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Layer 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of heirloom tomatoes, and 2 slices of Saga Blue Brie on 4 slices of bread.
  4. Add slices of avocado on top of the cheese.
  5. Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, spread side down.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
  7. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  8. Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and add more avocado or grilled vegetables. Use fresh, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. The Saga Blue Brie is mild and perfect for those new to blue cheese. Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
