Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups Caramelized onions
- 2 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Sprinkle a light dusting of garlic powder over the buttered sides.
Step 2
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 3
Place one slice of sourdough bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Step 4
Layer one slice of sharp cheddar cheese on the bread, followed by 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon of caramelized onions, and one slice of cooked bacon.
Step 5
Top the fillings with another slice of sourdough bread, buttered side up.
Step 6
Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted completely. Press gently on the sandwich with a spatula while cooking to help it heat evenly.
Step 7
Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Step 8
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
