Ready in under 20 minutes, this easy yet gourmet sandwich is perfect for a comforting lunch or a quick dinner. Serve warm and watch it become an instant family favorite!
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful spread.
Flip the bread slices over and spread the mayonnaise mixture on the unbuttered side of each slice.
On two of the bread slices (mayonnaise side up), evenly layer shredded Cheddar cheese, bacon slices, and thinly sliced tomato.
Top the layered slices with the remaining two bread slices, mayonnaise side down, to form sandwiches.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet, buttered side down. Use a heavy skillet or a spatula to press them gently but firmly, smashing the sandwiches slightly for a crisp texture.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Smashed Sandis!
