A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese, this panini combines crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, and gooey cheese for a satisfying meal.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated to avoid uneven cooking.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
Use softened butter for easier spreading.
Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, onto the skillet.
Ensure the buttered side is in contact with the skillet for a golden crust.
Layer each slice with a slice of cheese, two slices of tomato, two slices of bacon, and another slice of cheese.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor.
Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
Press gently to ensure the sandwich holds together.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Flip carefully to avoid spilling the fillings.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
