Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 slices thick cut bacon cooked
  • 8 slices artisan bread
  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes cut into 8 slices
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces smoked jack cheese grated
  • 4 ounces swiss cheese grated
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • maldon salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Spread ½ tablespoon of mayonnaise over one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place ¼ cup of cheese on the bottom slice of bread. Next, add 1 slice of the bacon and top with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Layer two tomato slices on top of the cheese and top with 1 more tablespoon of cheese. Top with 1 more bacon slice and 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Repeat this step for all 4 sandwiches.
  • Place the sandwich on the grill and cover with the second slice of bread. Cook on medium low for 3 minutes, or until sandwich is golden on the bottom and the cheese is melting.
  • Flip the sandwich and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese has melted. Press the sandwich with a small heavy cast iron pan if needed to aid in the cheese melting.
