I don’t think I have met anyone that doesn’t agree that bacon and cheese go together so well that they deserve their own food group. So, I’ve decided to combine the two in a decadent bacon and brie panini that’s perfect for a fall or winter brunch. The sweetness of the bread combined with the tartness of the apple is perfectly balanced with the saltiness from the bacon and the melty perfection of the brie.
If you’re a brunch lover, I highly recommend giving this bacon and brie panini a try!

- 1 loaf french bread
- 1 green apple
- 1 jar fig jam
- 2 pieces bacon
- 1 package brie
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter
- Cut french bread into slices and spread butter on one side of each slice. Sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Place buttered bread onto hot griddle or pan (buttered side down) until golden brown and brown sugar has caramelized. Remove bread from pan and cook two slices of bacon until crispy.
- Spread fig jam onto unbuttered side of bread, then place small strips of brie, slices of green apple, and pieces of bacon onto the fig jam, then top with other piece of bread.
- Place sandwich onto panini press until brie has melted and has started to bubble out of the sandwich.
- Remove sandwich from panini press, cut in half, and enjoy!
Note: If you don't have a panini press, you can place the sandwich on a cookie sheet in a hot oven for a few minutes to achieve the same result.
