Sounds like a great appetizer. Not a cheap appetizer based on the cheese and bacon. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Ingredients

1 loaf sourdough bread, unsliced
250 grams Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
200 grams smoked bacon, chopped, fried crispy
1/2 cup butter, melted, 1/2 standard block
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 C.
Using a sharp bread knife cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust. Place slices of cheese in between cuts. Sprinkle cooked bacon on bread, making sure to get in between cuts. Mix together butter and Ranch dressing mix. Pour over bread. Wrap loaf in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Notes

The cheese would cost about 180 Baht/250 grams, the bacon would cost about 130 Baht/200 grams. I will take a guess at 6 servings, this would cost about $1.52 per serving, not cheap but but sounds really nice for a once in a while appetizer for visiting family and friends.

Shortcut: Ranch Dressing Mix.
