Ingredients
- 4 Slices sourdough bread
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 slices Bacon
- 4 Slices cheddar cheese
- 4 Slices pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat until the bacon is crispy. Move the bacon from the pan to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the excess grease. Remove the bacon grease except for approximately 1 tablespoon from the pan (to cook the sandwich in).
- Spread the mayonnaise on the outside of each slice of bread.
- Heat the skillet with the reserved bacon grease over medium high heat. Place 2 slices of the bread mayonnaise side down in the skillet. Top with 2 slices of the cheddar cheese, 2 slices of the bacon, 2 slices of the pepper jack cheese and the remaining slices of bread.
- Cook both of the sandwiches over medium high heat until golden brown (4-5 minutes). Flip the sandwiches and cook the other side for 4-5 more minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the skillet, cut in half and enjoy!

Notes
