Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups Caramelized onions
- 2 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Sprinkle a light dusting of garlic powder over the buttered sides.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one slice of sourdough bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Layer one slice of sharp cheddar cheese on the bread, followed by 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon of caramelized onions, and one slice of cooked bacon.
Top the fillings with another slice of sourdough bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted completely. Press gently on the sandwich with a spatula while cooking to help it heat evenly.
Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
