Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 2 slices of crispy bacon. Top with the remaining two slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat the skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Once fully cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cut in half and serve hot.
