Servings 1 sandwich

Ingredients
  

  • 3 slices bacon, cooked crispy, drain on paper towels
  • 2 slices bread, of your choice
  • butter, butter as needed
  • 1 large dill pickle, sliced lengthwise, or even round pickle slices
  • 2 slices Cheddar cheese
  • 28 grams Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, (1 oz), or even 1 slice will work fine

Instructions
 

  • Everything prepped, I cannot get large sandwich slices of Cheddar or Mozzarella, so I slice from blocks, very easy but 1 sandwich slice is 3 thin slices from a block for me. I have pickle spears, homemade, so just sliced a couple of those to make slices to cover a sandwich.
  • Place a slice of bread on the counter, add a slice of Cheddar, then a layer of pickle slices, then the Mozzarella, then a layer of bacon, another slice of Cheddar, butter the other slice of bread and place that on top, butter side up. I assemble this before going into the pan as I want the heat to go through and melt the cheese from the start.
  • Heat a non stick pan with about a tablespoon of butter, when melted and hot, pick the sandwich up and place in the pan.
  • Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich over and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • Remove to a plate, slice in half, enjoy.

Notes

Shortcut: Fridge Pickles.
Variant: 1. Use mayo on the bread in place of butter.
