Grilled Cheese BLT
Nothing, that’s what. Absolutely nothing! This was, simply put, an amazing BLT sandwich. The bread is toasted on one side in a skillet. I spread it with a bit of mayo before toasting to crisp and golden perfection.
While it is toasting, some really tasty cheddar cheese is melting on top of each slice, all gooey and rich. I used a medium strong farmhouse cheddar. Yummy. If you really like American cheese slices in your sandwiches, by all means use that.
Two slices of toasty golden bread, topped with gooey cheese, ready to slap together with some sweet ripe slices of tomato, crisp and smokey bacon and then that lovely lettuce layered in between each cheesy golden slice.
What you have here is simply the best of two worlds, put together in an extremely delicious way! Quantities given are for one sandwich. Simply multiply to make more.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A GRILLED CHEESE BLT
- two slices of sour dough bread
- 1 TBS full fat mayonnaise
- 3 rashers of cooked, streaky bacon
- 5 (1/4 inch thick) slices of ripe beefsteak tomatoes
- kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 crisp lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces/57g) grated good strong cheddar cheese
Our local grocery store carries a really good in-store baked sourdough white loaf. I love it. I buy at least one loaf of it every week. It is great for toast and excellent for toasted sandwiches.
I wouldn’t be tempted to use a rustic sour dough as I think the bread would become to crisp and would shred your gums when you ate it, but you do you. If you think your gums can handle it, go for it!
Use only full fat mayonnaise for this and a good quality one. Today I used Kewpie mayonnaise. If you don’t like mayonnaise, simply substitute butter for the mayo. If you like mayo though do use it. It adds a lovely rich hit of flavor to the outside of the sandwich.
Make sure your tomatoes are ripe and juicy. Not hard.
Crisp lettuce is best for this sandwich. I had bought a lovely head of “living” lettuce at the shops and it was beautifully fresh and crisp.
Use a good bacon! Thick slice is best. Boy, I sure miss the bacon of the U.K. They had wonderful bacon!
I used a strong British farmhouse cheddar with a lovely rich flavor. There were actually salt crystals in the cheese. Yummy! Grate it yourself.

- Finally top with the crisp lettuce leaves and the other slice of toasted bread, cheese side down.
