Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 6 ounces roast beef
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 strips crispy bacon
• 0.5 cup caramelized onions
• 1 handful arugula
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, place the slices of sourdough bread in the skillet to toast until golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, warm the roast beef slices briefly, about 1-2 minutes, just until they are heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Assemble The Rick: Spread 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard on one slice of sourdough bread and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on another slice.

Step 4

On the mustard side, layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese, 3 ounces of warmed roast beef, 2 strips of crispy bacon, 1/4 cup of caramelized onions, and a handful of arugula.

Step 5

Top with the mayo-spread bread slice. Repeat the same layering steps for the second sandwich if making for two servings.

Step 6

Return each fully assembled sandwich to the skillet over medium heat. Press down gently with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is evenly toasted and the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
