Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 slices bacon slices preferably thick-cut
  • 2 slices bread your choice of sturdy bread
  • 1 tablespoon mustard preferably yellow or Dijon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, American, or your favorite melt-friendly cheese
  • butter or oil for toasting enough to coat the bread lightly

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Toaster or oven
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Begin by laying your bacon slices in a cold skillet, then turn the heat to medium. Cook until crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally for even crispiness. Once done, transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat.
  2. While the bacon cools slightly, toast your bread slices until they are golden brown with a slightly crispy crust, either in a toaster or in a pan with butter or oil. This step ensures the bread will hold up nicely with the fillings.
  3. Spread a generous layer of mustard on one side of each toasted bread slice. The mustard adds a tangy kick that balances the richness of the bacon and cheese.
  4. Place the bottom slice of bread on a plate, then layer the crispy bacon over it evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the bacon, allowing it to melt and bind everything together.
  5. Top with the second slice of bread, mustard side down, pressing gently to secure the sandwich. If you like, you can also briefly toast the assembled sandwich in a warm pan to melt the cheese further and crisp up the outside.
  6. Cut the sandwich in half to reveal the gooey cheese and crispy bacon inside. Serve immediately while warm and crunchy.
