Ingredients
2 cups cooked brisket, shredded
1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite)
4 slices of bread (sourdough or Texas toast works best)
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Brisket: In a bowl, combine the shredded brisket with barbecue sauce. Mix until the brisket is evenly coated.
-
Prepare the Sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side, layer the BBQ brisket mixture and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Optionally, add a few slices of red onion for extra flavor.
-
Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches, buttered side down, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
-
If you prefer a cheesier melt, try combining cheddar and mozzarella.
-
Experiment with different breads, such as ciabatta or brioche, for a twist.
-
For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
-
If storing leftovers, keep the brisket and cheese separate from the bread to maintain the bread's crispiness.
