How to Make Melty Monsieur

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Arrange 4 slices of bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Broil for 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until lightly toasted.
  4. Spread 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard on each of two bread slices.
  5. Top each of the mustard-spread slices with 2 slices of bacon (about 2 ounces), 3 slices of tomato (about 1/4 of a medium tomato), and 3 tablespoons of Gruyere cheese (or your favorite melting cheese).
  6. Top with the remaining bread slices.
  7. Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bacon is crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your lighter, healthier take on a classic!
