A BLT grilled cheese feels like the moment two comfort‑food icons shake hands and decide to make magic together. Imagine thick‑cut bacon cooked until it hits that perfect intersection of crisp and chewy, layered over juicy slices of ripe tomato that soften just enough in the heat. A handful of fresh lettuce adds a cool, crunchy snap that keeps every bite lively.
Then comes the melt: buttery toasted bread hugging a generous layer of gooey cheese—swiss, sharp cheddar, mellow American, or a blend that stretches with every pull. As it grills, the edges turn golden and crackly, the cheese fuses everything into one glorious, salty‑savory, fresh‑meets‑melty bite.
It’s the classic BLT you love, wrapped in the warm, indulgent embrace of a grilled cheese—simple, satisfying, and impossible not to crave.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, then stack buttered sides together. Layer 2 slices cheddar on top of bread stack, then bacon slices, then lacy swiss cheese, then tomato and finally the remaining slices of cheese.
Place bread buttered side down in a fry pan over medium-high heat. Cover with lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden.
Reduce heat to medium and flip sandwich to other side and cook for 2-3 minutes or until bread is toasty golden and cheese has melted.
