Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 oz sourdough sandwich bread about 4 slices
- 4 oz thick-cut bacon cooked until crisp
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
- 6 oz ripe tomato sliced and patted dry
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce or iceberg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder optional
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Stir mayonnaise with black pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Slice the tomato and pat dry. Shred the lettuce and set aside.
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Warm a skillet over medium-low heat. Place two slices butter-side down. Layer cheese, tomato, and bacon, then top with more cheese. Cap with remaining bread, butter-side up.
- Grill until the bottom is golden and cheese starts melting, 3–4 minutes. Flip and toast the other side until melted and crisp, 2–3 minutes.
- Open sandwiches slightly. Spread the mayo mixture inside, add lettuce, and season with a pinch of salt. Close, rest 1 minute, slice, and serve.
Notes
Variation: Swap cheddar for pepper jack and add sliced avocado for a creamy, spicy twist. For extra crunch, toast the tomato slices briefly in the pan before assembling. To keep lettuce crisp, add it after grilling and just before serving. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet over low heat.
