When I saw Rachel Ray make this on her show, I HAD to try it. Mmm...brushing the melted butter really does help make this sandwich. The maple mustard just adds so much. Now I crave this whenever I want a big protein fix. SO good. I prefer 4 slices of bacon per sandwich when the bacon is thin, and since I use regular wheat bread I use a bit less cheese (and all cheddar). Rachel kept the heat a bit lower on her show and now so do I. You want the cheese melty and gooey but the bread nicely browned. Ingredients:
12 slices good quality smoky bacon (3 slices per sandwich) |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
8 slices white bread, 1/2-inch thick |
1/2 cup stone ground dijon mustard |
1/4 cup dark amber maple syrup |
1 1/2 cups shredded extra extra-sharp cheddar cheese or 8 slices white cheddar cheese |
1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere cheese or 8 slices gruyere cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F Place bacon on a slotted broiler pan and bake to crisp.
2. Brush 1 side of each slice of bread liberally with melted butter.
3. Stir together Dijon mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
4. Assemble sandwiches: bread, buttered side out, maple mustard, cheddar, bacon, Gruyère, bread with mustard on inside, buttered side out.
5. Grill sandwiches on a nonstick griddle over medium heat until cheese melts and they’re deeply golden.
