Enjoy this tomato bacon cheese toast with a comforting bowl of soup like our cozy celery soup or broccoli cheese soup. If you’re a grilled cheese sandwich fan (like we are), you’ll love this easy open-face version with tomato, slices of bacon, and basil. It’s everything we love about ooey-gooey grilled cheese, with a few added ingredients that make it extra delicious. We can’t exactly call it healthy, but this grown-up version of grilled cheese (sorry kids!) uses only real, fresh ingredients. Toast it in the oven until crisp for a delicious work-from-home lunch, or easy light dinner. It’s easy to customize it with your favorite sandwich toppings and pair it with a salad or soup for a quick balanced meal.
Bacon – good bacon is savory, salty, and a bit smoky. It’s the perfect grown-up ingredient for this savory sandwich. Whole wheat sourdough bread – we love sourdough for its texture and subtly sour taste. Feel free to substitute for a gluten-free option, if needed. Cheddar cheese – any type of cheddar cheese will do, but our preferred cheese is a sharp cheddar for maximum flavor. Basil – beautiful fresh basil adds brightness and a pop of flavor. Tomatoes – large ripe tomatoes for slicing. Onion Sea salt + pepper
This sandwich recipe, like all sandwich recipes, is very flexible. Use more or less of any of the above ingredients to create your dream sandwich!
