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.
