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 (15 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) 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.
