Method

Cranberry Reduction Sauce

Prepare the Cranberry Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh cranberries, sugar, and water. Stir well to combine.

Cook the Sauce

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally.

Add Balsamic Vinegar

Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Set aside to cool.

Assemble and Cook the Sandwich

Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.

Prepare the Bread

Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the outside of the sandwich.

Assemble the Sandwich

On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer the brie cheese, crispy bacon, and a generous amount of the cranberry reduction sauce. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

Grill the Sandwich

In the same skillet used for the bacon, place the assembled sandwiches. Grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your Bacon, Brie & Cranberry Grilled Cheese!
