Peach Bacon Brie Grilled Cheese - Fresh peaches, peach preserves, crisp bacon and ooey gooey melted brie sandwiches made right in the waffle maker! SO EASY!

The person who invented the concept of grilled cheese is a known genius.

But the person who invented the concept of a bacon grilled cheese – well, that person clearly knew what he or she was doing.

And no, I wasn’t the one to invent the bacon grilled cheese. I wish I did. But no.

Hey, we can add other things in here though. Like fresh summer peach slices, peach preserves, and brie cheese.

Now you can use any cheese you fancy – mozzarella, gruyere, fontina, etc. But I like how the brie melts here to let everything else come together so smoothly.

No, wait.

That’s not true. I just really like brie with a drizzle of honey.

But I promise. This combination works! Plus, you get to use your waffle-maker for a mess-free grilled cheese. Win-win, guys.

Peach Bacon Brie Grilled Cheese

Fresh peaches, peach preserves, crisp bacon and ooey gooey melted brie sandwiches made right in the waffle maker! SO EASY!

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon
  • ¼ cup peach preserves
  • 2 peaches, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces Brie cheese, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • With a butter knife, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Spread preserves on each of 4 bread slices with buttered side down. Divide peaches, brie and bacon evenly on all slices. Top with remaining slices, buttered side up.
  • Place sandwiches in the waffle iron. Close gently and cook until golden brown and the cheese has just melted, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, drizzled with honey, if desired.
