Cheese Mix

Shrimp and Bacon

Toast and Seasoning

Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Grate the Cheeses

    In a mixing bowl, combine Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and Smoked Cheddar cheese. Use a box grater or food processor to shred them until they are well mixed.

Shrimp and Bacon Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

  2. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the shrimp. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly and Grilling

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Take two slices of country white bread. Spread butter on one side of each slice. On the unbuttered side, layer the cheese mix, cooked shrimp, bacon, and diced tomato. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.

  2. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down slightly with a spatula for even grilling.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Sandwich

    Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Cut it in half, and serve warm. It's delicious with a side of creamy tomato bisque topped with green onion and diced tomato.
