Ingredients
- 2 slices of sourdough
- 70g sliced brie cheese
- 2-3 slices of cooked, crispy bacon
- 2 slices of ripe tomato
- 1 tbsp Ladismith Spreado
- ½ clove garlic, crushed
- Chives & parsley herbs
- Optional additions: fresh basil leaves & rocket
Method
- Prepare the infused butter: In a small bowl, mix the Ladismith Spreado butter with the crushed garlic and herbs.
- Assemble the sandwich:
- Spread a thin layer of the infused butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the brie cheese, tomato slices, and crispy bacon. If using, add optional basil or rocket – to add now as well.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward to form the sandwich.
- Cook the sandwich:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and toasted.
- Carefully flip the sandwich and continue cooking on the other side until it is also golden brown and the brie is melted and gooey, another 3-4 minutes.
- Using a lid can help the cheese melt faster.
- Serve
