Brie and Bacon Butty






School's shut for a snow day- hooray!

Having frolicked about outside for a little while (my stamina for cold weather being pretty poor), I came inside to have some lunch. This weather calls for hot, tasty fill-me-ups like this oven-baked brie and bacon baguette, see above. Baking it makes the bread warm and crispy, and the creamy cheese comes out moreishly melted; it's a sandwich to really get your teeth into. What makes it so delicious is its contrasts: the mellow softness of the brie against the saltiness of the bacon; the crisp crust of the bread and it's chewy inside against the slight toughness of the meat. Simple, hot and hearty: job done.
