Description

These BBQ Brisket Melts are the perfect comfort food, combining tender shredded brisket with tangy BBQ sauce and melted cheese between buttery toasted bread slices. Ready in just 25 minutes, this easy skillet recipe delivers a smoky, cheesy sandwich that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

BBQ Brisket Filling

  • 2 cups cooked brisket, shredded
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Sandwich

  • 4 slices of bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Mix brisket and sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked brisket with the BBQ sauce until the meat is evenly coated with the sauce.
  2. Butter the bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring an even layer for crispiness and flavor.
  3. Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat to prepare for toasting the sandwiches.
  4. Assemble the first sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter side down onto the heated skillet.
  5. Add brisket mixture: Spoon a generous layer of the BBQ brisket mixture onto the bread in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the brisket layer to ensure a melty, cheesy finish.
  7. Top with second slice: Place another slice of bread on top, butter side up, completing the sandwich.
  8. Cook until golden: Allow the sandwich to cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip it to cook the other side until also golden and the cheese is melted.
  9. Repeat: Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining ingredients to make all four sandwiches.
  10. Serve warm: Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice as desired, and serve while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce for a personalized flavor twist.
  • Cheese options like cheddar or pepper jack both work well to complement the smoky brisket.
  • If preferred, use sandwich bread varieties like sourdough or Texas toast for extra texture.
  • Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning the bread while ensuring the cheese melts fully.
  • Leftover melts can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven for best results.
