Bacon Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 Slices Sourdough Bread
- 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Bacon
- 4 Slices Cheddar Cheese
- 4 Slices Pepper Jack Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Blackstone Grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).
- Place bacon slices on the Blackstone Grill on one side on the griddle. Cook the bacon until the bacon is crispy. Move the bacon from the grill to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the excess grease.
- Spread the mayonnaise on the outside of each slice of bread.
- Drizzle the avocado oil onto the Blackstone grill. Place 2 slices of the bread mayonnaise side down onto the grill. 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!
Before building the sandwich, bake the bacon in the oven on a flat pan. Cover it with brown sugar and finely chopped pecans. The sugar will caramelize and hold the pecans on the bacon. I bake it at 325 (pre-heated) for around 15 minutes or until done.
That sounds delicious – Thank you for sharing!
