BLT Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Description
The BLT Grilled Cheese Sandwich is built starting with a double stack of buttered egg bread that sandwiches layers of cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, swiss chard leaves, tomato slices, and more cheddar cheese. The sandwich is cooked in a frying pan over medium-high heat with a lid to encourage even melting and browning. The initial side cooks to a golden finish, then the sandwich is flipped and cooked a bit quicker on the other side to achieve a toasty exterior and melted interior. The combination of crispy bacon with the creamy melted cheese and juicy tomato creates a satisfying texture and flavor balance. Swiss chard adds a delicate, lacy leafy element that brings freshness to the sandwich. It is best served warm and can be complemented by a bowl of tomato soup for a balanced meal choice.
Serving this sandwich alongside a homemade tomato soup enhances the overall experience by providing a warm, tangy accompaniment that complements the richness of the cheese and bacon. This sandwich works well as a filling lunch or casual dinner option. Cutting it in half makes it easier to handle and share.
Ingredients
- 2 lices Egg Bread
- 4 lices cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, then stack buttered sides together. Layer 2 slices cheddar on top of bread stack, then bacon slices, then lacy swiss cheese, then tomato and finally the remaining slices of cheese.
