Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices Poppy-seeded White Bloomer Sturdy bread that holds up beautifully.
  • 4 slices Bacon Smoky delight, can be fried or baked.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blackberries Lends a sweet, tangy element.
  • 4 ounces Brie Rich, creamy cheese that melts perfectly.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Fresh yields the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Adjust according to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili Flakes Optional, for a spicy kick.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter For frying, to create a golden crust.

Equipment

  • Small Pot
  • Large Pan
  • Fork or Masher

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small pot over low-medium heat, combine fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mash the blackberries until a sauce starts to form (3-5 minutes).
  2. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer until jam thickens (5-7 minutes). Let cool completely.
  3. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices, butter-side down, and spread 1 tablespoon of jam on each. Layer with brie and bacon, and sprinkle chili flakes if desired.
  4. Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, butter-side up. Press gently. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  5. Heat the pan to medium and fry sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Flip when the bread is golden and brie starts to melt.
  6. Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
