Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices Rustic bread (like sourdough or artisan bread)
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Pitted green olives
- 0.5 cup Pitted black olives
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, garlic powder, and crushed red chili flakes (if using).
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of rustic bread.
Flip the bread over and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of each slice.
Arrange the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet, mayo-side up.
Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each bread slice.
Roughly chop the green and black olives, then distribute them evenly over the cheese layer.
Top each sandwich with crumbled bacon pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
