Ingredients
2 large slices of
sourdough from round loaf (or any other bread)
4-5 slices bacon
(depending on size of bacon slices)
enough slices of cheddar
cheese (or other cheese) to cover one slice of bread
butter (about 1-2
tablespoons)
Directions
Cook bacon until done
and drain on a few paper towels. Set aside.
Lightly butter both outsides of bread slices. Place bacon
slices lengthwise on the unbuttered side of one of
the bread slices, then top with thin slices of
cheese (about
1/8-inch thick) until entire piece of bread and
bacon are covered. Place other buttered bread slice
on top of bacon and cheese-covered slice (both buttered
sides on the outside).
Preheat a large nonstick
skillet over medium heat. Once skillet is hot, place
entire sandwich in skillet and gently press on top
of sandwich with a
spatula for a few seconds to ensure entire slice of bread is
evenly touching
the skillet. Allow to grill for about 1 minute,
occasionally lifting one side of the bread to check
doneness. Once bottom slice of bread appears
browned, slip spatula (Tip: If using long sourdough
slices, a long spatula works best) under entire sandwich
(lengthwise for long bread slices), and carefully flip sandwich over while
holding the top slice of bread in place with your
other hand, being careful to not touch skillet.
If any bacon or cheese slip out while flipping over,
simply tuck back into sandwich (again, being careful not to
touch skillet). Grill again for another minute or
so, or until bread appears nicely browned.
Remove sandwich and
place on cutting board, then cut in half and serve. |
