Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

12 ounces Boursin cheese
8 slices cooked bacon
8 slices cracked pepper bread or any rustic country bread
1 tablespoon softened lightly salted butter

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Spread each of 4 slices of bread with 3 ounces of Boursin cheese.

    Step 2

    Cut each bacon slice in half lengthwise. Place 2 pieces of bacon (4 halves) on top of each of the Boursin-prepared slices of bread.

    Step 3

    Cover each prepared half with another slice of bread.

    Step 4

    Evenly butter the top of each sandwich. Place each sandwich butter side down in a frying pan over medium heat. While the first side is grilling, butter the second side of bread. Cook until golden and crusty, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully turn and cook until second side is golden, about 1-2 minutes more.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
