How to Make Spicy Bacon Grilled Cheese

Prepare Components
Cook bacon until crispy and prepare garlic butter spread.
Layer Sandwich
Build layers of cheese, bacon, and spicy elements between buttered bread.
Grill to Perfection
Cook slowly until bread is golden and cheese is completely melted.
Serve

Baking Tips
Use a mix of cheeses for the best flavor and meltability.
Cook the sandwich over medium-low heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
For extra flavor, add a thin layer of mayonnaise to the inside of the bread before adding the cheese.
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature (except the butter) for even melting.

Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately.
