Grilled Brie Cheese Sandwhich

As I poked around in my refridgerator this morning to find something savory to make for breakfast, I came across the left over Brie cheese in the cheese drawer. I just love brie. I love the way it melts...gooey and oozey! Viola !!! I'll make a grilled cheese! But this is breakfast so of course this sandwhich will require bacon. Don't limit this creation to breakfast. This sandwhich would be great along side a soup or salad for lunch !!

Serves 4

16 slices of center cut bacon cut into inch long pieces
6 tbls unsalted butter, at room temp
8 slices sourdough bread
8-12 oz brie cheese
2 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4 in. slices
salt and pepper

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook until nice and crispy. Drain onto a paper towel and break into the pieces. Heat a cast iron griddle or cast iron pan on med high heat. Spread the butter on one side on the bread and place butter side down in the pan. Begin building the sandwhich. First, but down a layer of brie, then the tomatos ( 2 slices per sami) and next the bacon. Top with more brie cheese. Put the bread top on the sandwhich, butter side up. Grill until the cheese is melty and the bread is nice and golden.
