Ingredients:

Serving

8 (1/2-inch thick) slices country-style sourdough bread
12 oz monterey jack , farmhouse cheddar , gruyere , or imported swiss cheese, thinly sliced
4 tbsp unsalted butter
8 slices smoked bacon, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced , and drained on paper towels for 5 minutes , or
8 slices baked ham

Directions:

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place 4 slices of bread on a cutting board and generously butter the top sides of each slice. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet; swirl around to coat the pan.
Lay 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Put a few slices of the cheese on the bread. Lay the bacon, tomato, or ham on top of the cheese. Cover with a few more slices of cheese. Top with 2 of the remaining slices of bread, placed buttered-side up. Cook, without pressing, until the bread browns and the cheese is slightly melted, about 5 minutes. Turn the sandwiches with a spatula and add a small hazelnut-size piece of butter to the pan. Cook slowly, adjusting the heat as needed to melt the cheese completely before the sandwiches are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches. Serve.
