Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large tomato
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter onto one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread to add extra flavor and creaminess.
Assemble each sandwich: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the mayonnaise side of the bread, followed by 2 slices of crispy bacon, a few slices of tomato, and another slice of cheddar. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Place the assembled sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
