Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices cooked crispy bacon
- 1/2 cup dill pickle slices (drained and patted dry)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or softened butter for spreading)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread mayonnaise (or butter) on one side of each slice.
- Flip the slices over and spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the inside, if using.
- On two of the slices (unbuttered side), layer half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Add the bacon strips evenly over the cheese.
- Layer the dill pickle slices on top of the bacon, then add the remaining cheese over the pickles.
- Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3–4 minutes.
- Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is fully melted, another 3–4 minutes.
- Remove from the skillet, let rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding sliced jalapeños.
- Adjust the amount of dill pickles to your taste preference.
- Serve with a side of chips or a salad for a complete meal.
