Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices Bread
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
Butter one side of each bread slice. Spread the mustard-mayo mixture on the unbuttered side of each slice.
Lay two slices of bread, buttered-side down, onto the skillet. Top each slice with one slice of cheddar cheese, two slices of bacon, and another slice of cheddar cheese.
Place the remaining bread slices, mustard side down, on top of the fillings to form two sandwiches.
Cook sandwiches until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches cool slightly on a cutting board for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
