Ingredients
4 slices artisan sourdough bread
4 oz creamy goat cheese, softened
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crispy
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp wildflower honey
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
Fry the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place two bread slices butter-side down and spread goat cheese on the unbuttered side.
Layer with crispy turkey bacon and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Drizzle honey over the cheese and bacon layers.
Top with remaining bread slices, butter-side facing out.
Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Notes
Best served fresh immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 24 hours and reheated in a toaster oven. For a vegetarian variation, substitute turkey bacon with sautéed sliced mushrooms. Keep heat at medium-low to ensure the bread toasts without burning before the cheese melts.
