Bacon and Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of the best comfort foods, aren’t they? There are so many ways to tweak grilled cheese recipes to make the ultimate sandwich to your liking.
Upgraded Grilled Cheese
One way to upgrade your childhood grilled cheese sandwich is to use the best slices of cheese. Allow me to suggest the Sargento Reserve Series™ at your local Meijer.
Aged White Cheddar, Aged Gouda, and Asiago are three varieties of the Sargento Reserve Series that here to take your grilled cheese to another level.
These gourmet flavors are now conveniently available in the form of slices, making them ideal for snacking and sandwiching.
Sargento Reserve Series™
Cheeses in the Sargento Reserve Series are aged to reach the best flavor and texture. However you choose to use them, these cheeses are sure to please.
With all the stresses in life that I do not need to mention, we’ve been craving feel-good foods. Grilled cheese and soup is high on that list!
Bacon and cheddar grilled cheese
I decided to play around with ingredients to create a more “adult” grilled cheese sandwich. Using bacon, Aged White Cheddar, and Asiago, I quickly made an incredibly flavorful lunch.
To make a grilled cheese sandwich even tastier, I like to spread a butter and cheese mixture on the bread. I melt butter and add some parmesan cheese and mix it together.
Using a basting brush, I evenly coat the bread on one side. Layer slices of cheese and cooked bacon on the bread. Top with the other piece of bread with the butter side up. Heat up a griddle and place the butter side down.
With the butter mixture on the bread, it browns a lot more quickly, so keep an eye on it. I tend to flip the sandwich a few times to evenly melt the inside of the sandwich without burning the outside.
Serve with your favorite soup, a salad, or whatever you like to pair with your grilled cheese.
This bacon and cheddar grilled cheese is packed with flavor. The combination of Aged White Cheddar and Asiago along with the bacon is just beyond creamy and dreamy.
We also love to snack on slices of Aged Gouda. All of the slices are tasty to snack on throughout the day.
I highly suggest you try the Sargento Reserve Series in your favorite recipes. See how the gourmet flavors they offer can elevate your everyday meals!
