Beer Grilled Cheese & Bacon Sandwich
Beer Grilled Cheese & Bacon Sandwich
There are ham, jalapeño, chicken, steak, mac and cheese, bacon, and more variations on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, each one offering up a new and unique flavor. However, each combination of ingredients, no matter what it is, only changes the inside of a grilled cheese. What about the outside?
That’s why this recipe stands out from the rest. The inside of this sandwich is simply two types of cheese and some bacon slices. It’s the outside of this sandwich that makes it special. You’ll need to soak the bread in a mixture of beer and spices before you cook the sandwich.
It’s almost like a mix of grilled cheese and french toast. Once the bread is in the pan, the excess beer inside the bread will evaporate, leaving the bread with a hoppy, hearty flavor. After a few minutes, the bread gets crusty and delicious and the cheese melts to ooey gooey perfection.
