Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Sprinkle garlic powder on the buttered side for extra flavor.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the non-buttered side of two slices of bread, layer the cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, cooked bacon, and sliced tomato. Season with black pepper.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out, to complete the sandwich.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula to ensure even melting.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove from the skillet. Cut in half and serve hot.
