How to Make Bacon Tomato Grilled Cheese

  1. Gather your ingredients: For each sandwich, prepare 2 slices of bread, 1 slice of mozzarella cheese (approx. 1 oz), 1/4 cup of sliced tomatoes, and 2 slices of bacon (approx. 1 oz).
  2. On one slice of bread, layer the mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, and bacon strips.
  3. Top with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion, a pinch of oregano, and 1 slice of cheddar cheese (approx. 1 oz).
  4. Top with the other slice of bread.
  5. Spread the outside of each sandwich with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  7. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
