# What You'll Need:
→ Sandwich Assembly
01 -
8 slices Texas toast, thick cut
02 -
8 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 8 slices
03 -
8 strips thick-cut bacon
04 -
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Arrange bacon strips in a cold skillet. Set heat to medium and cook slowly, turning as needed, until fully crisped. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
02 -
Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of Texas toast.
03 -
Lay 4 slices of bread mayonnaise side down on a cutting board. Top each with 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 2 bacon strips. Cover with remaining bread, mayonnaise side up.
04 -
Preheat a large skillet over low to medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Reduce heat if needed to prevent burning.
05 -
Let sandwiches rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing for optimal cheese texture. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Thick-cut bacon offers the crunchiest, most flavorful bite and helps prevent sogginess.
02 -
Mayonnaise provides a golden, crisp exterior superior to butter, ensuring a consistent crust.
03 -
Letting sandwiches rest briefly before cutting helps retain melted cheese.
04 -
Store cooled sandwiches in an airtight container to maintain texture.
