GRILLED CHEDDAR, TOMATO AND BACON SANDWICHES
From Bon Appétit, March 2000. Makes the ordinary special. Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even brunch and late-night snack. Spreading a little mayonnaise over the outside of the bread before grilling adds golden color and delicious crunch. Experiment with different cheeses, like munster and maybe add a sliced jalapeno. Recipe can easily be reduced for even a single serving.
