Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of Italian bread.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, layer the creamed mozzarella, crispy bacon, a spread of tomato jam, and a handful of arugula. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet, place the sandwich and grill over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5
