Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices Texas toast bread
  • 1 pound bacon
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup pepper jack cheese shredded
  • ½ cup chipotle mayonnaise
  • 2 large tomatoes sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 4 lettuce leaves

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels, and set aside.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of mayo on one side of each of the slices of bread.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium-high and place 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese onto the skillet or griddle. Add a slice of bread on top of the cheese, mayonnaise side down.
  • Grill the bread mayo side down until it is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, depending on how high the heat is.
  • Transfer the toasted bread to a flat work surface and assemble your sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of chipotle mayo on the plain side of each slice of bread. Then, top with the bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Close the sandwiches, cut, and serve.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Use thick-cut bacon for a more satisfying crunch, but any kind of bacon will work. For an extra kick, try pepper bacon or jalapeno bacon.
  • Use the freshest, ripest tomatoes you can find. They make all the difference!
  • For a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños.
  • If you don’t have Texas toast, any thick-sliced bread will work.
