Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Crumbled bleu cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cook the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and set aside.
Step 2
Mix the cheeses: In a medium bowl, combine crumbled bleu cheese, shredded mozzarella, and shredded cheddar. Stir together to create an even mixture.
Step 3
Prepare the butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic powder. Spread this garlic butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 4
Make the sandwich spread: In a separate small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. Spread this mixture on the unbuttered side of four slices of bread.
Step 5
Assemble the sandwiches: Take one slice of bread with the Dijon-mayonnaise spread facing up. Layer it with a generous amount of the cheese mixture, 1-2 slices of cooked bacon, and then another slice of bread (buttered side facing out). Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.
Step 6
Grill the sandwiches: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing them gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 7
Serve: Slice the sandwiches in half and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
