Ingredients
- 4 slices Sliced bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
Assemble the grilled cheese sandwiches by placing 2 slices of cheddar cheese and 2 slices of cooked bacon between 2 slices of bread. Make 2 sandwiches.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Carefully dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked.
Step 5
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet. Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining sandwich, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
Step 6
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and drizzle with maple syrup. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy!
