Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 6 ounces roast beef
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 strips crispy bacon
- 0.5 cup caramelized onions
- 1 handful arugula
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, place the slices of sourdough bread in the skillet to toast until golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, warm the roast beef slices briefly, about 1-2 minutes, just until they are heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble The Rick: Spread 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard on one slice of sourdough bread and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on another slice.
On the mustard side, layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese, 3 ounces of warmed roast beef, 2 strips of crispy bacon, 1/4 cup of caramelized onions, and a handful of arugula.
Top with the mayo-spread bread slice. Repeat the same layering steps for the second sandwich if making for two servings.
Return each fully assembled sandwich to the skillet over medium heat. Press down gently with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is evenly toasted and the cheese is melted.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
