Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Hearty sandwich bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)
- 8 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 8 slices Bacon
- 2 medium Tomato
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Cook the bacon in the skillet until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Thinly slice the tomatoes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. The mayonnaise will help the sandwich achieve a golden crust when grilled.
Butter the opposite side of each bread slice to ensure it toasts evenly during grilling.
Assemble the sandwiches: On the mayo-side of 4 bread slices, layer 2 slices of mozzarella cheese, a bed of fresh spinach leaves, 2 slices of cooked bacon, and a few tomato slices. Top with another slice of bread, mayo-side facing outward.
Place the assembled sandwiches on the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the heat, let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
