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 sandwich!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I live right around the corner from the Pop Shop, and it's one of my favourite places to eat out. I was at the taping of the... "Throwdown" episode, so I knew Bobby had won. The night after the episode aired, we went to Pop Shop and split the two sandwiches for our own taste test. My husband and I both agreed, while we love Stink and Connie's sandwich, Bobby's was really excellent! It's been on the Pop Shop menu since the show aired, with a few minor changes, and we order it often.Read more

Neither my husband or I were crazy about the goat cheese. Very strong taste. We will try this recipe again with brie only.

Great, even better when customized
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved this sandwich. I didn't write it down originally so some of the ingredients changed when I was at the store. Try it... with avocado instead of green tomatoes and I left off the water crest. Used some really good sour dough and it was fantastic Sourdough Brie Goat Cheese Avocado Bacon Read more

new twist on grilled cheese
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really liked the flavor of the sandwich overall. I think next time though, I will use a regular tomato instead of green. ... I'm just not a big fan of the green. Other than that, it was a great twist on an old favorite.Read more

WOW! This was great!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this episode last night. I was craving it till I was able to make it for lunch today. I modified it a tad to fit some... ingredients I like such as spinach instead of watercress, and real bacon bits that I already had at home. I also used Italian loaf bread and sliced it myself. In watching the episode, a comment was made about the tomato not being easy to bite into. I precooked a couple slices for a couple minutes in a little butter. Then I assembled the whole thing and grilled it in the skillet. Oh, I also took an ingredient from the "other" sammy....I made basalmic mayo and put it on Bobby's sammy. All I can say is WOW. It was a fabulous sandwich! Thanks to Bobby and this show that gives me some new and inventive food ideas! Read more
