Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Butter the Bread

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the sharp cheddar cheese, followed by the Swiss cheese, and then the cooked bacon slices. Finally, spread Dijon mustard and mayonnaise on the other slice.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

  2. 4

    Flip and Cook

    Once golden, carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Serving

  1. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
