Brie and bacon toasties
Brie & bacon toasties
Everyone loves a cheese toastie, so here's a recipe for a tasty savoury treat to enjoy anytime
- Serves 2
- Easy
Ingredients
- 4 thin rashers smoked bacon
- 140g brie
- 1 firm ripe pear
- 2 thick slices of bread, preferably from an uncut granary or malted wheat loaf
- small handful pecan nuts (about 10)
- a handful of rocket or watercress if you have it in the fridge, to serve
Method
-
Set the grill on high and put a sheet of foil under the grill rack to catch any cooking juices and save on washing up later. Lay the bacon on the rack and grill for 2 minutes. While it is grilling, slice the cheese (aim to get about 8 long slices) and core and slice the pear.
-
Put the slices of bread under the grill as well for just under a minute until the bread is evenly toasted on one side only. Keep an eye on it – a whole minute is just that little bit too long and the bread may start to char.
-
Flick the bread over and cover the untoasted sides first with a layer of pear slices, then the grilled bacon and then the rest of the pear slices. Don't worry if it looks a little rough and ready – it all adds to the effect. Drape the brie on top and scatter over the pecans, roughly breaking them with your fingers as you go.
-
Grill for another minute or so, until the cheese is melted and oozy. Remove and eat straight away with the rocket or watercress on the side.
