Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sliced bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Assemble the grilled cheese sandwiches by placing 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 2 slices of cooked bacon between 2 slices of bread. Make 2 sandwiches.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Carefully dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet. Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining sandwich, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and drizzle with maple syrup. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
