Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (preferably sourdough or your favorite type)
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon:
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Once cooled, break the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. If using, spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the other side of two slices.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of the bread. Distribute bacon pieces evenly over the cheese, ensuring every bite gets some bacon. Top with another slice of cheddar cheese and close the sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side out.
- Grill the Sandwiches:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy the perfect blend of gooey cheese and crispy bacon in every bite!
