Bacon Cheddar Grilled Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 slices of sturdy bread, like sourdough
• 2 tablespoons of softened butter
• 4-6 slices of crispy bacon
• 3-4 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup of Harry & David Classic Pepper & Onion Relish

Instructions

Cooking the Bacon (in advance):

1. Lay out bacon on a baking sheet and bake at 400 F for 15 minutes until bacon is browned and crispy.
2. Remove bacon and let it drain on a few paper towels. You can also use leftover bacon for this recipe.

Cooking the Sandwich:

1. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on each piece of bread.
2. Add one piece of bread, butter side down, in a sturdy skillet over medium-low heat.
3. Smear bread with about two tablespoons of Pepper & Onion Relish.
4. Top with two to three strips of crispy bacon.
5. Then top with sliced cheddar cheese and add the top piece of bread, butter side up.
6. Cook the sandwich for about three minutes per side until the sandwich is nicely toasted and the cheese is melted.
7. Repeat these steps with the second sandwich, or if you have a large enough skillet you can cook both at once!
8. Finally, slice the sandwich and serve immediately.
