Ingredients

8 strips thick-cut maple-glazed bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
8 slices sourdough bread
12 ounces cotswold cheese (double Gloucester with chives) or cheddar, shredded
4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing

Directions

Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out the skillet.

Heat the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add 2 bread slices. Top each with one-quarter of the cheese and 2 strips bacon. Spread 2 bread slices with some of the dressing and press them on top of the sandwiches, dressing-side down. Cook until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat to make 2 more sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.

What a winner! I actually go to Whole Foods to get the cotswald cheese! Wow, it's $18/lb but I don't get near that amount. I drizzle maple syrup over the bacon before cooking in the oven. I use a firm white bread. My kids won't eat regular grilled cheese any other way! The extra trip for the cheese & the extra cost are well worth it! Excellent change from run-of-the-mill grilled cheese!

Used buttermilk store bread since we didn't have Sourdough, but overall this was pretty good. Would definitely make this again with some alterations.
