🔪 Steps

Cook Bacon
Place bacon in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and break into halves or thirds.
Prep Bread
Spread butter on one side of each sourdough slice. Optionally, spread Dijon on the unbuttered side.
Layer Sandwiches
On two slices (unbuttered side up), add half the cheddar and mozzarella. Top with bacon pieces and pickle slices. Season lightly, then add remaining cheese. Cap with bread, buttered side out.
Grill
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low. Cook sandwiches 3–5 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted. Press gently with a spatula for even crisping.
Serve
Rest for 1 minute, slice diagonally, and enjoy hot and gooey.

✨ Tip: Pair with tomato soup or a crisp green salad for the ultimate comfort meal.
