This gourmet grilled cheese recipe gives you perfect crispy bread, 3 melty gooey cheeses, and savory bacon. Pair it with tomato soup or a salad, perfection.

Ingredients

4-6 slices bacon
2 slices gruyere (sliced or broken into small pieces)
2 slices Gouda (sliced or broken into small pieces)
2 slices Cheddar (sliced or broken into small pieces)
4 slices sourdough bread or thick toast.
2-4 tablespoons Butter
2-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tomato (sliced)

Instructions

For the Bacon

400 degrees Fahrenheit to preheat oven. Cook for 15-20 minutes until desired level of crispiness. rotate pan halfway through to ensure even cookness.
Or, fry bacon over medium-high heat for 5-10 min then reduce to medium until bacon crispy. If the bacon is organic, save the fat for cooking.

For the Sandwich

Put 1-2 tablespoons of butter on the front facing side of each bread slice.
On a large pan, set medium-low heat. Add 2 slices of bread, butter aside down. Rub the bread against the pan to evenly coat the butter on the bread.
Add half of the cheeses on top. Put bacon on top then close the sandwich, cheese side facing each other. Flip and move around the pan to ensure even golden brown ness of a well-toasted bread.
Do the same for the other sandwich.
