Photo: Grilled Brie and Goat Cheese with Bacon and Green Tomato Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 slices center-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 8 slices Pullman bread, sliced 1-inch thick
- 8 to 12 ounces really good quality brie
- 2 green tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- Watercress
- 8 ounces soft goat cheese, cut into 8 slices (recommended: Boucheron goat cheese)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Place the bacon in a large skillet or griddle and cook until golden brown and crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Break each piece into fourths and set aside.
Heat a cast iron griddle or cast iron pan over medium heat.
Spread butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. Layer 4 of the slices of the bread with 3 to 4 slices of brie, 2 tomato slices, watercress, 2 slices goat cheese, and 4 slices of broken up bacon and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the remaining bread slices on top, butter side up and cook on the griddle until golden brown on both sides and the brie has melted.

Great Grilled or pressed. I would recommend light rye bread as I don't know what pullman bread is and didn't see the episode. I also used reg. bacon and apple slices instead of green tomatoes as they are out of season.

While I've loved other Bobby Flay recipes, this one didn't suit me or my family at all. I've noticed that most reviewers who raved about it made significant changes to the recipe, but I made it as written, which is my usual habit on the first try. After cooking for my husband for 20 years, we debated whether this was the worst thing I've ever made, or the second worst. Ever since seeing the throwdown I've been excited about trying this recipe, but was so disappointed - I can't imagine how this won a contest. Too bad, as the ingredients were fairly expensive. We'd rather eat the traditional American cheese version.
