Bacon, lettuce and tomato grilled cheese sandwich

Take your classic grilled cheese sandwich to the next level by adding the delicious elements of a BLT. This Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich combines gooey cheddar cheese with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato. Perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner, this sandwich is sure to become a new favorite.

Ingredients:

3 oz cheddar cheese
80g
2 tbsp salted butter
27g
2 bacon strips
24g
2 slices white bread
50g
2 slices tomato
40g
1 leaf lettuce
27g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, turning occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Bread:
- While the bacon is cooking, spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
3. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
- Immediately add half of the shredded or sliced cheddar cheese on top of the bread.
- Add the cooked bacon strips on top of the cheese.
- Place the remaining cheese on top of the bacon.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
4. Grill the Sandwich:
- Cook the sandwich until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.
- Continue cooking until the other side is also golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, another 3-4 minutes. If necessary, press down lightly with the spatula for even grilling.
5. Add the Fresh Ingredients:
- Once the sandwich is done grilling, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board.
- Carefully open the sandwich and add the tomato slices and lettuce leaf.
6. Serve:
- Close the sandwich, cut it in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich!

Tips:

- Make sure to cook the bacon until it's crispy; this will add a great texture contrast to the sandwich.

- Use a medium heat when grilling the sandwich to ensure the cheese melts evenly without burning the bread.

- Allow the sandwich to rest for a minute before cutting it in half; this helps keep the ingredients intact.

- For extra flavor, try adding a smear of mayonnaise or a dash of black pepper.

This Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a delightful twist on two beloved classics. With its perfect balance of crispy, soft, salty, and fresh elements, this sandwich is a sure crowd-pleaser. Enjoy your creation and savor every bite of this mouthwatering dish!
